George Logothetis – A Deeply Human Keynote at 2023 Marine Money

On June 21, 2023, Executive Chairman of Libra Group George Logothetis was featured at Marine Money Week in a compelling and personal keynote conversation facilitated by Doug Mavrinac, Global Head of Maritime Investment Banking at Jefferies Group LLC. In a most personal interview, George shares a humane and inspiring story of Libra Group and his own journey – from 19 when he became CEO of Lomar Shipping to founding Libra Group in 2003 at age 28, to the Group today, which is active in maritime, aerospace, renewable energy, and beyond. George shares that Libra Group was founded from many simple thoughts, including “to allow those looked down upon not to be looked down upon. To allow them to be seen.” Created as a global vehicle of empowerment, today, Libra Group and its subsidiaries are active in 60 countries in multiple sectors and with interns hailing from Burundi to Panama to Greece and beyond. Libra Philanthropies, an independently run foundation, continues to help millions worldwide, mainly through 10 independently run programs. Reflecting on Libra’s shipping subsidiary, Lomar’s storied track record, George reminds us that “nothing of true value in this world is easy,” but also how often, in retrospect, “the worst of times can be the best of times if you have unity, purpose, courage, and no fear.” Most of all, he describes the power of choice in life, reminding all that “the last vestige of human freedom is the election of how we respond” to adversity.
