Senior Business Development Manager Europe & Middle East at Ankor Software, Eleni Skourti is redefining how yacht charter professionals collaborate across borders—now setting her sights on connecting entire national ecosystems and conglomerates rather than just individual companies. With over 13 years in B2B sales and a sharp instinct for relationship-driven markets, she has become a strategic force in the yachting technology space, helping brokers and central agencies operate smarter, faster, and more cohesively.
Based in Athens, Greece, and fluent in English and French, Eleni entered the yachting industry after being strongly encouraged by someone within the sector who believed her personality and commercial strengths were perfectly aligned with its people-centered nature. They were right. What began as an introduction quickly became a purposeful career path in an industry built on trust, precision, and long-term partnerships.
Her professional foundation is rooted entirely in B2B environments, where she has consistently focused not just on increasing sales but on building sustainable growth structures. Over the past several years, she has specialized in yachting, working closely with charter brokerages and central agencies to enhance their operational efficiency through technology.
At Ankor Software, Eleni represents a platform designed to empower yacht charter professionals worldwide. The company provides tools such as global yacht calendars, digital contracts, custom itineraries and trips, WebPro with API integrations, and AnkorPay, a secure multi-currency payment system. Her work centers on connecting brokers with central agents globally, ensuring seamless communication and streamlined business processes.
Now, her next milestone is ambitious: moving beyond supporting single companies to working with interconnected groups and national ecosystems—driving collective growth within countries and regional markets. For Eleni, success is not just about scaling businesses but about elevating entire networks.
She often reflects that there was nothing she wishes she had known before entering the industry; learning has been a continuous and welcome process. What keeps her motivated is the human side of yachting—the way it allows both women and men to present the best version of themselves while creating meaningful experiences for clients around the world. For her, it is an industry centered on care, confidence, and connection—and that makes all the difference.
