Who is Georgios Frangulis?
Georgios Frangulis is a Brazilian-Greek entrepreneur. He’s the founder of Oakberry and is a public figure. He came into the limelight in the tennis realm after he began dating the WTA world No. 1. Talking about his background, he once revealed, “I can say we were always a Greek family, in how we see the world, our values, and the way I was raised. I feel 100% Greek.”
His grandfather, Georgios, traveled from Thessaloniki and settled in Brazil with his father, Eleftherios. But he didn’t really bring the ancient Greek martial arts with him. Instead, he took the law. But later, he found his true calling in entrepreneurship. “I always knew I would build a business and create something that would bring joy and good things to people.” And with that, he proceeded to kickstart Oakberry, an acai bowl company.
