Boston’s Advent Technologies Holdings Inc with products in fuel cells and hydrogen technology space recently announced the appointment of Dr Panoraia ‘Nora’ Gourdoupi to the board of directors. Dr Panoraia ‘Nora’ Gourdoupi is the Senior Vice President of Corporate Business Developments at Advent and has been with the company since the start when she joined as a senior scientist.
“Without Nora’s innovation and dedication to our technology, we would not have a best-in-class MEA powering a portfolio of fuel cell products poised to revolutionize how energy is created,” said Dr Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. “Without her tireless advocacy and diligence in working with the European Commission over the past eighteen months, Advent would not have received the approval and ratification of Green HiPo, a colossal project which will transform the Company and ensure that Advent is positioned among the world leaders in green energy technology. I welcome her to the board.”
“My entire professional career has been dedicated to developing efficient, cost-effective fuel cells to create clean energy,” said Dr Gourdoupi. “From my start at the Company more than fifteen years ago as a Senior Scientist to now as I join its board of directors, I have always known that Advent’s best-in-class technology and world-class team will power the green energy revolution. With the Green HiPo project approved and ratified, the widespread adoption of fuel cells as a truly viable fossil fuel alternative is closer than ever.”
Dr Gourdoupi will be filling in for the remainder of Dr Christos Kaskavelis’ tenure, he said, “With Nora shepherding the approval and ratification of Green HiPo, I am thrilled that she will now join our board of directors. I have known Nora for many years and cannot imagine any other potential board member who could combine her scientific acumen with her proven dedication to the Company. I look forward to focusing completely on my role as an executive at Advent, and I welcome the opportunity to assist Nora in any way possible as she joins the board.”
