CATCH OF THE DAY: Greek win Ukraine s Man of Year Award |
|
|
George Daskaleas, a visiting professor at Kiev University, was named Ukraine's Man of the Year for 2012 at a recent ceremony. The 17th award ceremony took place in a packed National Palace of Culture in Kiev before politicians, academics, financial and cultural leaders.
The prize was awarded by the former Minister and current Ambassador of Ukraine to Greece, Valery Tsybukh. Daskaleas was honored because "he is probably the only person that does not ask Ukraine for money but offers it!" as the organizers pointed out in an introductory video.
Daskaleas was recently named to his position at the Kiev school where he gives lectures and seminars of quantitative models and discipline investment methods. |
