Giorgos + Lena

Lena Philippou was the first to join the newborn Company, fresh out of the University as a Chemical Engineer.

“I was one of very few girls at the time that chose to go to Engineering school! My mind just works that way; I am all about analytical thinking and problem-solving. That does not mean I knew what I wanted to do after my studies! Because apart from being a linear thinker, I am a passionate person. I love nature and all things natural, and above all, I am a Greek soul. I am simply in love with Greece. Walking into the original Korres pharmacy, I instantly knew I wanted to be part of this world. All aspects of my personality were matching! And I saw a purpose! Natural products back in 1996 were all brown, boring and simplistic. I set my mind on combining nature and science to create the most effective natural products out there! And made in Greece! All it takes is dream, work, and a little love.”
