Global consulting firm dss+ establishes presence in Greece
Global operations management consulting firm dss+ has expanded into the Greek market, establishing an office in the capital city of Athens.
The new office is dss+’s 11th office in Europe and builds on its longstanding track record of helping Greek businesses improve business performance, enhance employee safety, and accelerate sustainability in operations.
Marco Pagnini, managing director for EMEA at dss+, said the on-the-ground presence in the country will bring the firm closer to its Greek clients and enable further growth in the market.
He added that the move comes at a pivotal moment for the country’s economy, with major transitions underway in areas such as energy transition, industrial modernization, and infrastructure development.
“Greece is entering an exciting new period of growth, characterised by significant investments in infrastructure, energy and industrial capabilities. Strengthening core business fundamentals – such as safety, operational excellence, and effective risk management – is becoming essential to staying competitive and unlocking long-term value,” Pagnini said.
“With its capabilities and industry expertise, dss+ helps companies build these foundations, enabling strong performance today while helping companies stay well positioned for opportunities tomorrow.”
Headquartered in Switzerland, dss+ has over 1,600 employees working from offices around the world. The consulting firm is a recognised global leader in operations consulting, health & safety, and sustainability.
“Our expansion in Greece will combine our global expertise and track record with a tailored understanding of local priorities,” said Emanuele Salvador, who has been appointed as the inaugural leader of the Athens office. Salvador has been with dss+ for several years and also leads the Operations practice in Italy.
“We see tremendous potential in Greece, where companies are demonstrating real ambition to elevate their capabilities, embrace modern operational practices and lead with purpose. Our goal is to partner with them in shaping safer, more sustainable and more competitive operations, supporting the country’s long term economic and industrial vision.”
Greece’s revival
Following a decade of struggles with high national debt, Greece is now undergoing a striking economic renaissance, with GDP growth outperforming much of the eurozone, unemployment significantly reduced and investment-grade status restored.
This has led to a wave of domestic and foreign investment flowing into key sectors such as energy & utilities, logistics and transport, advanced manufacturing and large-scale infrastructure – supported by EU recovery funding, structural reforms and a renewed focus on competitiveness.
Pagnini: “With this strategic expansion, we affirm our commitment to helping Greek companies unlock their full potential and contribute to a safer, more resilient and more sustainable future for the country.”
