Georgios Pikoulas – Senior Technical Project Manager (Audio) 

Georgios’ passion for sound and the energy of live production began at a very young age. From his teenage years, he knew he wanted to build a career creating and delivering live shows. 

With a background in sound-focused studies, he quickly found himself drawn towards the wider technical and production side of live events. After working across a variety of corporate and music projects, he decided to leave his hometown and pursue his ambition abroad. 

After seven years in the UK, he is incredibly grateful for the opportunities he has had to grow as a Production Manager, working across different disciplines, productions and client requirements. 

He is now excited to begin the next chapter of his journey with Event Concept, bringing his experience, passion and enthusiasm to the team while continuing to learn, develop and achieve great things together.

Her career has seen her progress from event production and sales into senior operational and director-level roles, giving her a strong understanding of both client relationships and the detail required to deliver exceptional experiences. At EC, Dana will be helping grow our relationships and opportunities in the US while supporting the continued development of our presence in New York.
