Background

About Georgios Manolis

Born in Greece and educated as an engineer in Germany, I have been shaped by a blend of Mediterranean passion and German precision. Today, I lead Onelity, a premier European smartshoring company. Over the span of 20 years, I've gathered invaluable experience managing IT projects and collaborated with renowned companies in the fields of e-commerce, telecommunications and finance. In 2015, during the Grexit crisis, I recognized a pivotal opportunity and founded a near-shoring enterprise in Greece. My decision was driven by the rapidly growing tech landscape in Central Europe, particularly in Germany, and the deep reservoir of skilled Greek engineers. To meet the rising demand for software development teams in Europe, I co-founded ONELITY in 2020. With its primary base in Cologne and a branch in Thessaloniki, Onelity marries European expertise with local talent. Beyond my business pursuits, I passionately engage with the tech community. I hold board positions at TechSaloniki, an annual recruiting event, and at TechPro Academy, which upskills STEM graduates for the IT industry. Furthermore, I organize the "Thessaloniki QA Meetup in Software Testing" to promote knowledge exchange among tech professionals.
