Pavlos Papapavlou posted thisReflecting on a year of growth🌱 Looking back on the year and just before switching into holiday mode to recharge for what’s next, I feel it’s the right time to express my gratitude to the company, the team, and everyone who has trusted and supported me. When I joined Datatorque in October 2022 as a Senior Business Analyst, I couldn’t imagine how much I’d learn and grow. In January this year, I took on something completely new — the role of People Lead, supporting the career development of a talented team in our Cyprus office. It was my first time stepping into this kind of role, but it felt natural to say “yes” to the challenge. Almost a year later, I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together — the team getting stronger, skills evolving, and each of us growing side by side. I’m grateful to Datatorque for trusting me with this opportunity, and to my team for embracing the change with such openness and continually proving their capabilities. Opportunities don’t turn into success by chance. They need both sides — someone to offer them, and someone willing to put in the effort, learn, and make them real. Our team has shown that with commitment and collaboration, every opportunity can become growth for all of us. Wishing everyone a year of continued progress, filled with moments of happiness and quality time spent with loved ones.

Pavlos Papapavlou reposted thisGreat to see our own Shona Williams share her insights on the latest OECD publication. The five key points Shona highlights offer a window into how we’re partnering with tax authorities worldwide—helping them navigate change today while planning for what’s next. 🔗 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gxDjBZuQPavlos Papapavlou reposted thisAt DataTorque Ltd (where we support 17 tax administrations globally with our Revenue Management System and tax technology solutions), we welcome the OECD’s latest publication, “Tax Administration 3.0 – From Vision to Strategy”. It marks an important shift from principles to actionable guidance—encouraging tax authorities to modernise their role in digital societies. 🔗 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gxDjBZuQ 👓 Here are my five key takeaways as a reform advisor: Data and AI must be built into strategy—not bolted on later Tax administrations must embed data-driven thinking and AI-readiness at the core of their strategic and operational planning—from policy development through to service delivery. As trusted advisors (supporting 17 tax administrations worldwide), we see the transformative potential of predictive analytics, behavioural insights, and intelligent automation—but only when data strategy, governance, and capability are embedded from the outset. Interoperability is critical Cross-agency collaboration and data-sharing frameworks must evolve. This reinforces the need for tax systems that are flexible, secure, and standards-based. Taxpayer experience is at the centre Personalised services, pre-filled returns, and real-time data validation aren’t luxuries—they’re expectations. Modern RMS platforms must enable this shift. The role of compliance is transforming Future-focused administrations will shift from enforcing compliance to “embedding compliance” in systems and processes. This has major implications for design and data integrity. Change management is the real differentiator The technology is only part of the puzzle. Reform success hinges on capacity-building, stakeholder buy-in, and agile implementation strategies. 💬 At DataTorque Ltd, we’re already aligning our Advisory, Technology and AI offerings to this vision—supporting administrations across the globe as they modernise for a smarter, more responsive future. #TaxReform #OECD #TaxAdministration #DigitalTransformation #PublicFinance #RMS #DataTorque

Pavlos Papapavlou shared thisToday was my last day at IBM. Emotions are mixed. It was probably the hardest decision I had to make in my career. I feel very lucky and grateful to have been a part of this global company. Many of the people I worked with were not just colleagues but friends. The opportunities for skills development were limitless, the networking was unique, and #IBMers were special. Working with teams from all around the world was such an amazing experience. The support from the teams I worked with was second to none. The company's values, such as dedication, personal responsibility, discipline and respect, are just a few of the many elements that I will take from IBM and will proudly apply in every next step of my career. A big thank you to the entire IBM family for this journey. IBM can and does make the world a better place. PS: Special thanks to Glorious Day for making my leaving more comfortable by creating this unique gift, customized for IBM Cyprus office. This is a gift of appreciation for all the moments we have shared as a team in our efforts to deliver value to IBM customers. See you around :-) #thankyou #ibm #ibmconsulting #proudibmer

Pavlos Papapavlou liked thisPavlos Papapavlou liked this📗 Nine years after the development of the Green Marketing Orientation concept & scale (Papadas, Avlonitis & Carrigan, 2017), I am delighted to revisit and extend this work together with my good colleague and friend, Riza Casidy , in our new paper, published in Business Strategy and the Environment. 🏙️ Drawing on data from 388 US-based SME executives, we show that when suppliers’ green marketing orientation is perceived as genuinely embedded in their strategy, it can generate important relational benefits. We also uncover how executives’ religiosity and political ideology shape some of these relationships. 🧭 Our study further reinforces the importance of Green Marketing Orientation, not only as an environmental strategy but also as a valuable relational resource in B2B markets.

Pavlos Papapavlou liked thisPavlos Papapavlou liked thisΣαν σήμερα 14/6 - 1987 Ήμουν 10 ετών και θα έκανα ακόμα ένα βράδυ το κινούμενο τηλεκοντρόλ αφού δεν είχαμε κανονικό, για να ανάψω την TV στο σαλονάκι μας. Οι 3 θέσεις στον καναπέ, πιασμένες από την οικογένεια, εγώ ως νεότερος, ξάπλα στο πάτωμα και ενίοτε απλά σηκώνομαι για να πανηγυρίσω. Όσοι ήσαν τυχεροί βρέθηκαν στο γήπεδο. Η υπόλοιπη Ελλάδα όπως και εμείς ήταν στην τηλεόραση. Τελειώνει ο τελικός 🏀 με την Σοβιετική ένωση και ο Γιάννης Λάτσης αφού πιο πριν τάζει και δίνει ενα μεγάλο πρίμ στην ομάδα, πάει στα αποδυτήρια και ζητάει την κασέτα του αγώνα. Θέλω να την δείξω στον βασιλιά της Σαουδικής Αραβίας για το πως 10 εκ νικάνε 200 εκ αποκρίνεται. Δίνει και ένα γράμμα στον προπονητή Κώστα Πολίτη που ήταν ενα ποίημα που έγραψε εμπνευσμένος απο την πορεία της εθνικής. Πριν τον αγώνα η Ιερά σύνοδος προσεύχεται και για πρώτη φορά στην ιστορία ολη η πολιτική ηγεσία της εποχής είναι στο γήπεδο. Στους δρόμους κατά την διάρκεια του αγώνα δεν κυκλοφορεί κανείς, η ΕΡΤ συνεχίζει να σπάει τα ταμία της, αφού εισέπραξε από διαφημίσεις (15 με 20 λεπτά τον αγώνα που ήταν απίστευτος τηλεοπτικός χρόνος τότε) 140 εκ δραχμές σε μια εποχή που ο βασικός μισθός ήταν περίπου 26.000 δραχμές. Επενδύει σε εξοπλισμό με τα έσοδα απο το μπάσκετ και αγοράζει 5 κάμερο. Οι γιαγιάδες και οι παππούδες ξεκινάνε να λένε για τρίποντα, ο κόσμος παραληρεί, φτιάχνονται τα επόμενα χρόνια περίπου 180.000 δημόσιες μπασκέτες. Ένα ζευγάρι απο αυτές και κάτω απο το πατρικό μου όπου εγώ και χιλιάδες παιδιά ακόμα στεγάζουμε τα όνειρα μας και προσπαθούμε να μιμηθούμε τους ήρωες μας. Ένα έθνος σε ανάταση, βλέπει ότι για να τα καταφέρεις δεν είναι απαραίτητο να είσαι ο ψηλότερος, η ο δυνατότερος. Δημιουργούνται χιλιάδες νέες θέσεις εργασίας γύρω από τον αθλητισμό. Για αυτά και για άλλα πολλά, σας ευχαριστούμε.

Pavlos Papapavlou liked thisPavlos Papapavlou liked thisA few years ago, I thought success was only about skills, titles, or working harder than everyone else. But the more I grow, the more I realise that real growth starts internally. The way you think. The way you handle pressure. The way you speak to people. The standards you set for your life. Opportunities don’t always appear when we want them to. Sometimes, life first prepares us to become the person capable of handling them. I’ve learned that confidence is not loud. It’s built quietly through consistency, discipline, uncomfortable conversations, self-development, and the decision to keep moving even when nobody sees the effort behind the scenes. And one of the biggest lessons for me? The people who grow the most are not necessarily the most talented. They are the ones willing to evolve, adapt, learn, and stay open-minded while everyone else stays stuck in old patterns. Growth changes everything. Your mindset. Your circle. Your results. Eventually… your entire life. ✨ #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Mindset #SelfDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #SuccessMindset
