Fotis Sarantopoulos: Global Studies and Back to Greece with a Vision

Fotis Sarantopoulos, a proud CLC alumnus, continues to inspire our community not only through his impressive academic journey, but more importantly through his commitment to giving back. As an active mentor, he supports current CLC students exploring graduate studies abroad, generously sharing insights from his own experience at INSEAD and MIT.

After completing his graduate studies through the highly selective INSEAD-MIT double degree program, Fotis made a deliberate choice: to return to Greece and take the helm of his family’s business, the Santor Group. With operations spanning machinery, construction, and hospitality, the group is now entering a new chapter under his leadership.

At the heart of this vision lies Searocks Villas Resort, a premium hospitality project in the southern Peloponnese. Positioned as an exclusive destination for high-end travelers, Searocks Villas combines privacy, natural beauty, and understated luxury. Fotis is leading its expansion with a focus on sustainability, design excellence, and international appeal—aiming to position the resort among Greece’s top luxury retreats.

His return marks not just a personal milestone, but a broader commitment to investing in Greece’s future. Through his leadership, entrepreneurial drive, and dedication to the CLC community, Fotis Sarantopoulos exemplifies what it means to bring global experience home—and build something extraordinary.
