Nikos Moraitakis once said, “A key component of success is precisely not doing exactly what everyone else is doing.” It’s this unconventional mindset that fuels his role as co-founder and CEO of Workable, a company enhancing the hiring landscape.

Workable emerged from Nikos and his cofounder’s vision to simplify recruitment for non-expert recruiters. By integrating AI-driven tools with an intuitive interface, Workable has redefined how businesses approach hiring. The platform’s ease of use has enhanced recruitment for over 27,000 companies across more than 100 countries, proving that innovation and simplicity can go hand in hand.

Before launching Workable, Nikos worked in IT consulting at Ernst & Young and later as VP of Business Development at Upstream, a mobile marketing startup. His work at Upstream was instrumental in scaling the company globally, reaching over 1.2 billion consumers and partnering with top names in telecom, insurance, education, FMCGs, and retail across 45 countries.

Nikos’s journey highlights his belief in forging new paths rather than following the crowd, turning his vision into a global success story that continues to inspire.
