Maritime Startup Vsltec Appoints Manos Koukouvios as Chief Operating Officer

Vsltec, a forward-thinking maritime technology startup based in Greece that is transforming how shipping companies book and manage services, proudly announces the appointment of Manos Koukouvios as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).
With a strong background in the operational aspect of the maritime industry and the development of cutting-edge technology solutions, Manos is set to play a pivotal role in guiding Vsltec through its next phase of growth, innovation, and market expansion. His appointment marks a significant step in the company’s journey to reshape the future of maritime services through cutting-edge technology and strategic execution.
Manos brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of maritime operations and technology, most recently serving at Flagship Founders, where he played a key role in launching and supporting groundbreaking ventures across the maritime startup landscape.
“Manos is a powerhouse of maritime expertise and entrepreneurial drive,” said Theocharis Terzis, CEO of Vsltec. “He has a solid track record of getting ventures off the ground in this space — that experience will be valuable as Vsltec moves from product development to broader market execution.
During his time at Flagship Founders, Manos played a pivotal role in shaping the startup studio’s strategy and portfolio.
“I’m pleased to join Vsltec at a time when the industry is challenging how things have always been done,” said Manos Koukouvios. “By moving the technical services workflow away from calls, emails, and spreadsheets, we’re helping shipping companies save time, reduce friction, and make better decisions — while giving service providers more visibility and access to jobs that match their expertise.”
As COO, Manos will be responsible for overseeing operations, scaling business processes, and supporting the continued development of Vsltec’s platform.
