Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his New Democracy party won a solid majority in the 2019 Greek national elections, elevating him to the post of prime minister.

Mitsotakis campaigned on a platform of jobs, strong growth, and lower taxes to revive Greece, which had endured the loss of one-fourth of its GDP and the near collapse of its banks following the 2008 global recession. As part of his response, he prioritized foreign direct investment and enhanced the country鈥檚 credibility among ratings agencies. Despite the additional burden of COVID-19, Greece鈥檚 central bank reported economic growth of seven percent in 2021 and a projected five percent for this year.

Elected to the Greek parliament in 2004, Mitsotakis gained valuable experience serving on committees such as trade and national defense. As chairman of the Environment Committee and later the shadow minister for the environment, he fought to highlight the issue of climate change and advocated for environmentally sustainable growth. Later, as minister of Administrative Reform and e-Government, he led comprehensive national reforms by implementing a functional reorganization of institutions, structures, and processes.

For Mitsotakis, the 2019 electoral victory represented another chapter in his family鈥檚 political legacy, which includes his father Konstaninos鈥攖he Greek prime minister from 1990-1993鈥攁nd his great uncle Eleuth茅rios Veniz茅los, one of Greece鈥檚 most prominent early-20th-century politicians and statesmen.

Before entering politics, he worked for 10 years in the private sector, including as CEO of NBG Venture Capital at the National Bank of Greece.

Mitsotakis holds a bachelor鈥檚 degree from Harvard University, a master鈥檚 degree from Stanford University, and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. He and his wife, Mareva Grabowski 鈥�89, have three children, Sofia, Dafni, and Konstantinos, a 2020 自慰视频 alumnus.
