One To World’s Conversations with World Leaders program is a series of face-to-face meetings with CEOs, philanthropists, civic leaders, and other influential New Yorkers. They wish to engage students in an exchange of ideas and life stories.
This November, we invite interested Fulbright and International students to meet George Logothetis, Executive Chairman, Libra Group.
George Logothetis is Executive Chairman of Libra Group, an international business group whose subsidiaries own and operate assets in nearly 60 countries. The group is predominantly focused in six sectors including aviation, renewable energy, hospitality, real estate, shipping, and diversified investments. In addition, the Group has created 10 social responsibility programs that have a positive impact on the lives of many people around the world. These programs reflect the Group’s values, as well as a deep commitment to sustainability.
George became CEO of his family’s shipping company, Lomar Shipping, at the age of 19 with a portfolio of three ships. In the ensuing years, he presided over the company’s transformation from three vessels into a fleet of 55 before creating Libra Group in 2003.
At the heart of Libra Group’s business is a profound sense of social responsibility. It is woven into every part of Libra and its subsidiaries. The group’s extensive social programs deliver educational opportunity, business opportunity, and acts of humanity towards people who are marginalized or under-served. These programs span internships, educational fellowships, backing for entrepreneurs, and support for charitable institutions and other non-profit organizations. The Libra Internship Program, for example, allows young people from all over the world to undertake a paid placement within the company in varied roles and business sectors, globally. Since 2011, several hundred interns from 44 countries have had the life-changing opportunity to gain global business experience first-hand.
