Achilleas A. Stamatiadis holds a BA in Government, History, and International Affairs from Northeastern University. He is a Harvard GSAS program alumnus having spent a research year in Cambridge, Mass and holds an MA in Comparative literature, Ancient Philosophy and Leadership from the University of Chicago.

A section of his MA thesis on ‘Heavenly and Terrestrial manifestations of Aphrodite from Pre-Socratic to Victorian times’ was published by University of Pennsylvania’s ‘Discentes’ journal and can also be traced via The Library of Congress online catalogue. He is currently a PhD candidate focusing on Humanistic Leadership and World Human Values at UoA.

He is a full-time Mentor at The Trebuchet Convisero Consortium of Tufts University’s Institute for Global Leadership.

In 2023, backed by a team of academics and executives, he established the Faros Leadership Initiative to advance Research on models of Humanistic Leadership, Renaissance Studies, and the revival of Civic Consciousness inspired by Virtue Ethics. As both a practitioner and researcher, he strongly feels that the Humanities have a lot to teach us about World Human Values and aspires to call himself a Humanist via the daily application of such values, in both words and deeds.
