Sotiris Filippakopoulos

I am a Chemical Engineer from the National Technical University of Athens with over 15 years of operational experience within the Colgate-Palmolive network.

My career spans the entire manufacturing lifecycle, including long-term production scheduling, 3PL logistics management, global sourcing execution, and continuous improvement. As a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I have coordinated Factory Performance & Reliability programs that directly reduced unplanned plant downtime by 18% and boosted overall productivity by 6.3% while maintaining high customer service metrics. I have also led sustainability initiatives that secured the True Zero Waste certification and global corporate recognition for inventory reduction.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Packaging Engineer, managing new product development, primary and secondary packaging integration, and regional project execution at the Athens plant. I offer a proven track record of converting data into structured, highly efficient manufacturing workflows.
