Project and programme management
From kick-off to final report, using PM², the Commission's own method.
- Planning, budgets, risk and reporting
- Multi-partner projects across Europe
Every project needs the right mix.
I set up and improve how projects and teams work: project management, workflows, AI and digital tools, partnerships, and delivery on the day. Brussels-based, working across Europe.
Push up what your project needs most
Set your mix.
Four channels. Your project probably needs all of them, just not in equal measure.
What I take on
One person who can plan it, fix how it runs, build the tools and bring the right people in. Hire me for one piece or the whole project.
Processes and workflows
A fresh look at how your team actually works.
- Workflow reviews and redesign
- Clear roles, fewer handoffs
AI and digital tools
Tools built around the work, not the other way round.
- Custom lightweight apps
- AI routines for everyday tasks
- Dashboards and reporting
Partnerships and growth
Opening doors and keeping relationships working.
- Partners, funders and authorities
- Market launches and client development
EU funding
Proposal design and writing for Erasmus+, Creative Europe and related programmes, usually as part of a wider project.
Events and live operations
Access control, ticketing and cashless, on-site teams and real-time reporting to the authorities.
Start with a first plan
Answer two quick questions, three if you like, and see three concrete steps for your project.
What are you working on?
Where does it stand?
What kind of help? Optional
Twenty years of turning plans into things that actually happen.
Some of this was my own company, some my own non-profit, some salaried work. Each case says which.
The small desk on each card shows which of the four channels the work leaned on: process, tech, partners and people.

Tools I've built
Sidelane, a platform that helps artists play in cities that don't know them yet: small venues across Europe with booking info from artists who played there, an AI booking desk, and a network where artists open doors for each other. Clareo, an AI Act compliance workspace for accountants. The Artifesto website, and my own tools for finance and admin.

Case study: AvenEU
From a consultant's problem to a live product
- My role
- Co-founder, managing director
- Type
- Own company (AvenEU SRL)
- Period
- 2026 – now
- Status
- Live · aveneu.eu
The problem
Small organisations often have strong ideas and lose EU funding on the application itself: the official forms, the length limits, how evaluators score. General AI tools don't know any of that, and most of these organisations can't afford outside help for every proposal.
What I did
- Designed the product around the real application forms: every official section, its length limit, and feedback against the award criteria.
- Built a budget tool for each funding model (lump sums, unit costs, detailed tables) and partner search over more than 30,000 organisations from official EU data.
- Led the build with AI-assisted development, reviewing and approving every change myself.
- Set up the business side: company, EU hosting, payments with EU VAT, privacy and trust pages, analytics, outreach.
Where it stands
Live since August 2026 with free and paid plans. Covers Erasmus+, CERV and Creative Europe, with more programmes on the way.
What this means for your project
I can take a new initiative from a rough idea to something people use: define what it has to do, build the tools, and set up the operations around them, without a large team.

Running EU projects as a small organisation
- My role
- Coordinator and project manager
- Type
- Own non-profit (Artifesto ASBL)
- Period
- 2022 – now
- Projects
- THEAvios · BSAFE
The challenge
Winning EU funding is only the start. A small organisation then has to run it: partners in other countries, a fixed budget, the national agency's rules, and a website and tools that nobody else will build. Most small organisations have no project office for that.
What I did
- Designed the projects and wrote the proposals, from the idea and the partner search to submission.
- Coordinated the partnerships across countries: work plans, shared deadlines and regular contact with each partner.
- Managed the budget and the contract with the national agency, through to reporting.
- Built everything the projects needed in-house: websites and visual identity, trackers and custom CRMs, podcasts and multimedia, and interactive tools.
The projects
- THEAvios (completed): trained theatre professionals to make performances accessible to people with visual impairments, on stage and behind it, with a partner in Turkey.
- BSAFE (running): helps adults build confidence online against harassment, bullying and scams, with a partner in Greece. Free, accessible materials in three languages, with no sign-up.
What this means for your project
I can run an EU project from proposal to final report, and set up the website and tools it needs, without a separate agency for each part.
Case study: More.com, Benelux
Launching a ticketing and payments service in three countries
- My role
- Business Development and Event Operations Manager, Benelux
- Type
- Employed · sister company of Viva.com
- Period
- 2021 – 2024
- Markets
- Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg
The challenge
More.com, the ticketing sister company of Viva.com (then Viva Wallet), came to the Benelux with no local team, no clients and no partners. Organisers already had providers they trusted, and large events leave no room for mistakes on the day.
What I did
- Built the market from zero, with clients ranging from national sports federations and public bodies running large events through tenders to festivals, venues and conferences.
- Set up local operations: onboarding, support and payment flows for organisers.
- At large events with 10,000+ visitors a day, coordinated access control, crowd entry, on-site staff and real-time reporting to the authorities.
- Worked with the central product and payments teams to adapt the service to local needs.
The result
Belgium became the strongest of the eight new markets launched at the same time, though it was the most competitive one.
What I took from it
Working inside the same group as Viva.com gave me a solid grasp of the fintech side: payment solutions, integrations, and how they connect to ticketing and operations.
What this means for your project
I can open a new market or launch a new service: find the first partners, set up the operations, and run the day when it counts.
Case study: Tools I've built
Small products, built and shipped
- My role
- Founder, product and build
- Type
- Own products
- Period
- 2026 – now
What they do
- Sidelane helps artists play in cities that don't know them yet: small venues across Europe with booking info from artists who played there, an AI booking desk, and a network where artists open doors for each other.
- Clareo helps accountants answer their clients' questions about the EU AI Act. Each client answers a few minutes of questions on their phone and gets their AI file, and the accountant sees who is done.
How I build
Each product is designed around one job for one group of people. I build with AI-assisted development, review every change myself, and put a working version in front of real users early.
What this means for your project
If your team needs a tool that doesn't exist yet, I can design and build a working version quickly, and keep it simple enough that people actually use it.

Hi, I'm Panos.
I make projects run: the plan, the people, and the tools in between.
Brussels · English and Greek · MBA · twenty years across Europe
One person, three roles
I plan and run the project, fix how the team works, and build the tool it's missing. Usually that takes three people and a lot of handovers.
I think like an owner
I've run my own company, non-profit and venue. Budget, people and deadlines stay on my mind at the same time, not one after the other.
Working tools in days
When the right tool doesn't exist, I build a light one with AI, around how your team already works, and leave it in your hands.
I'm also a musician, and it shows in how I work: prepare well, time it right, and make sure everyone knows their part.
PG Flow is the name I work under.
