Yannis Criticos

My name is Yannis Criticos, I graduated from City University 35 years ago in Oct 1984. I have spent almost my whole professional life passionately serving the fascinating world of shipping.

Where has the knowledge you gained at City taken you in your life and career?

I owe my passion for shipping to the MBA course I followed at City where Professor C. Th. Grammenos conveyed to us the importance of perhaps one of the greatest industries in the world.

I lived and worked overseas for a few years before returning to Greece to work for ship financing institutions and large shipping firms. Since graduating, I have often thought of the great time I had at City and I take every opportunity I can to attend various functions at the University.

When in shipping, there is no doubt that a degree from Cass is an international passport with no expiry date.
