George Christodoulakis
** BIOGRAPHY **
Currently Associate Professor of Finance at Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK and Member of the Board of Directors of ICAP Group, Credit Rating Agency. I served as the State Secretary and Chief Executive for Asset Restructuring and Privatisations of Greece from 2009 to 2012 and was formerly employed as an Advisor to the Governor of the (Central) Bank of Greece, an academic at Cass Business School of City, University of London and the University of Exeter, as well as an advisor in the international financial sector. From 2012-2018 I served as a full member of the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council, Athens.
My academic qualifications focus on quantitative finance, economics, econometrics and financial regulation (PhD, MSc, MSc, LLM Module, BSc). My expertise concentrates on market and credit risk, which I have applied in the market, to risk management, asset management and pricing, asset privatization transactions, forecasting, systemic financial stability and regulation. Furthermore, against this technical background, my business approach also encompasses factors such as operational, legal, regulatory, political and geopolitical, as appropriate.
I am frequently invited as a speaker in interational professional conferences, expert panels and media, discussing highly complex issues in a non-technical manner. I have published extensively research work in leading international refereed journals and books and co-edited the book The Analytics of Risk Model Validation, published by Elsevier in 2008 and the Journal of Risk Model Validation, published by Risk Journals since 2006.
