Are you looking for a "formidable speaker?" A diplomat that is fluent in English and is an expert on European issues. Someone who knows the Greek crisis from the "inside". Then look no more! The "Harry Walker Agency" has the solution. Hire George Papandreou. He was the prime minister of Greece from 2009 to 2011, the same man that destroyed the Greek economy and set it back 30 years and the chap that till this day believes that he is simply misunderstood by the Greek people. (hhhhhhaaaaaaa)
Yes folks... George Papandreou is now available to speak at your event; he was after all noted as being “one of Top 100 Global Thinkers”. (Socrates, Plato and Einstein are rolling in their graves!)
Why would the Harry Walker Agency hire Papandreou.
The answer is simple.
Times are hard and good old George decided that with a child studying abroad and a wife who is not working, it was time for him to get a second job! It is tuff going on 20 fishing trips a year, 30 canoe trips, 40 kayak trips and 50 biking trips. The poor chap was desperate to improve his family finances, so he began looking for freelance work. That is why he sent his CV to the Harry Walker Agency. The latter company, which is known for "renting" out key-note speakers for unique events, accepted his resume and today George's biography is included in the pantheon of the agency’s former global decision-makers such as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Kofi Annan, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger.
On Papandreou’s page, we read:
“As Prime Minister of Greece from October 2009 to November 2011, George Papandreou has been at the forefront of the global financial crisis. Named as one of Foreign Policy magazine’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers” in 2010 for “making the best of Greece’s worst year”, he speaks with authority on the state of the Eurozone today and the future of the European Union. In these tumultuous times, few are better placed than Prime Minister Papandreou not only to provide insights into the fiscal crisis, but also to look forward – to where we are going.”
Among his speech topics are listed: (are you ready for this?)
- Europe’s Future: How a United Europe Can Play a Leading Role in the 21st Century
- The European Experiment Between Disaster and Success: Why (and How) We Must Redesign Europe
- Confronting the Democratic Deficit: Citizen-Centric Policies in the Age of Austerity
(Still not enough... ok... you asked for it)
With regards to Greece related topics, Papandreou could speak at your event on
- Greece: In the Eye of the Storm – International Crisis and Why it is a Global Imperative for Greece to be a Success Story
“Prime Minister Papandreou presents an in-depth look into the causes behind the Greek crisis, and explains why failing to find a solution will have dire economic and geopolitical implications for Europe, and for the world. Presenting the competitive sectors in the Greek economy and revealing undiscovered investment opportunities, Papandreou explains how, by addressing the corrosive uncertainty about Greece’s future, Europe can catalyze an overnight investment boom in the country while restoring confidence in the Euro.”
Editor's Note - The man who ignited the crisis... is now going to get paid for speaking about the crisis. No wonder the world is in a crisis!!!! LOL. If an agency can hire Papandreou... then there is still hope for us all.
