Konstantinos Giamalis
Hi, I’m Konstantinos Giamalis, Co-founder at Proper.
We’re modernizing property management in Greece, an industry that still runs on phone calls and paper.
Previously: 9+ years in product leadership across companies like efood, DeliveryHero, and instacar.
This is my personal journal. I write short, opinionated posts about leadership, decision-making, and building a company. Mostly short, always honest.
