There's an intro for you!

Vasiliki's role with Unilver's is to help the brands they acquire reach their full potential and is something she is very proud of.  Unilever's aim to is to keep the founders of the businesses they acquire with them, so they can harness their expertise to help shape the future of their business.

With that in mind, I thought she would make a great guest.

I wasn't wrong.
