Entrepreneurial spirit

Kostas Gerardos, the visionary CEO of Plaisio, embarked on his journey with a passion for innovation and customer service.  This humble entrepreneur with focus on innovation has played a significant role in Plaisio, a leader in the retail sector of electronics and technology. His father, George Gerardos, was instrumental in establishing the company, fostering its core values, and providing the foundation for Kostas’s career. George’s vision created opportunities for Kostas to develop his skills and assume leadership. In essence, George’s pioneering efforts and support enabled Kostas to reach his current position, continuing the family’s legacy of business excellence.

Kostas approach is rooted in understanding his customers’ needs and in building a company culture that valued transparency and excellence. He and his father invested heavily in training the Plaisio staff and in expanding product offers, always staying ahead of market trends. His forward-thinking mindset led Plaisio to embrace e-commerce early, positioning it as a leader in digital retail. Kostas’ vision continues to drive Plaisio forward, which remains a trusted name in retail technology.

Beyond business, Kosta Gerardos is known for his commitment to community development. He actively supports local initiatives and champions sustainable practices. His dedication has earned him respect not only from his employees but also from the wider industry.

I met Kostas about a year ago. At that time, I was trying to figure out how to utilize the extensive collection of film titles I had amassed while living in the US. Unfortunately, I got so involved in developing Gr2me that I had to put that project aside. Now that gr2me is developed and we are on our way to market it overseas, the time has come to figure out again how to make my film library available to those who love movies here in Greece. The answer may lie in a concept that Kostas and I discussed the second time we met. Why not create a film club that can show films in my library properly licensed through themoviesafe.gr and organize screenings around Greece, in local clubs, schools, libraries, etc. I think it is time to get in touch with Kostas again, restart that conversation and flesh out the concept.
