Petros Kkolas is a Digital Consultant in Engineering, working on mega projects in the UK and Greece. His expertise lies in Highways Engineering and the development of sustainable mobility solutions for the clients he serves. He is currently employed by ARUP, a global engineering consultancy with more than 19,000 employees and 94 offices in 34 countries. The company was founded by Sir Ove Arup, an Engineer, Philosopher, and Architect. The most significant project was the Sydney Opera House, where the principles of Total Design were applied.
In addition to his role at ARUP, Petros is also the Innovation Scout for the Midlands Region in the UK, responsible for promoting innovation activities in the region and engaging with start-up companies. Petros has also supported LGK Productions during the production of three documentaries with a primary focus on women. The three documentaries are:

He is currently responsible for all PR and Media Liaison activities in the UK and Cyprus. In his free time, Petros practices creative writing and poetry. He is working towards the publication of his poetry collection in Greek by the end of the year.
Travel is another passion that fuels his creativity and broadens his perspective. Petros has travelled to 25 countries and aims to reach 30 countries by the end of the year. Among all the places he’s visited, New York and Rovaniemi in Finland hold a special place in his heart. The bustling city life of New York (documentary premiere) and the serene beauty of Rovaniemi (chasing the northern lights at -30 degrees) have left indelible impressions on him.
In all these endeavors, Petros strives to bring together his diverse experiences and interests to create, innovate, and inspire. Whether it’s through engineering solutions, documentaries, podcasts, or poetry, he is committed to making a positive impact.
