George Kipouros is Wanderlust's editor in chief and CEO. George grew up in Greece, graduated in Athens with a degree in International Relations before moving on to a MsC on Development, Media & Communication from the London School of Economics.
After a few years of working as a project manager and editor in the European quarter of Brussels, George moved to London, the world's best-connected metropolis that no-one can ever get tired of. He worked for a decade in the media, research and exhibitions space with stints on a diverse range of topics, primarily in tech.
In 2015, George co-founded AI Business which grew to become the global leader in AI media, exhibition and research with a multi-million-dollar global presence. His business was acquired by Informa Plc, and George exited in 2020 to follow his life-long dream of sharing his passion for travel.
