“Ever since a young child and after all of my life experiences, my passion and ambition in life have always been to work with small and medium to large companies to grow exponentially by finding often unidentified opportunities, customising every single process in order to become truly effective. I have the privilege of working with universities and business schools to teach students of all levels and ages, multinational private sector companies to governments and government organisations. I currently own, manage and operate my group, consisting of a consortium of companies including three of my own, in addition to being a passionate international speaker, covering motivational psychological, societal and organisational topics that are becoming overlooked in today's world.”

“YOU CAN BECOME ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO BECOME, THE QUESTION IS THOUGH, HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT?”
– Rami Georgiou-Botaris
​
Rami Georgiou-Botaris is the chairman and founder of Georgiou-Botaris Group, a modern-day and international luxury, educational and business-services conglomerate with offices in Belgium and in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

​
Rami is a highly sought after public speaker given his experiences as well as the method in which he talks about such experiences to create a motivational story and action-plan; encouraging immediate action from his audiences to breakthrough both within a personal and business context.
​
Rami Georgiou-Botaris’ Story
​
Rami and his family immigrated to Belgium from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1995. When he tells his story, Rami is often viewed as a “purebred entrepreneur” given that throughout the majority of his life; he had to take care of his family as well as catering to his own life, in addition to finding ways to make sure both priorities were properly executed.
​​
Life has been anything but a smooth journey for Rami, both personally and professionally. He was always viewed as being ‘different’, causing most people throughout his upbringing to constantly insult and humiliate him; pushing him to the side and excluding him from everything because he was never good enough. Prior to his epiphany and current journey, his professional experiences were those that you would think came out of a movie or television series. He was labelled as mentally unstable and incapable of being an employee simply due to his motivation to do the right thing, the right way.
​​
Thus, at a very young age Rami became an entrepreneur; starting off with one company followed by a second and a third that he grouped under an umbrella forming his present holding company: Georgiou-Botaris Group, as well as developing financial growth of 160 million USD.
​
Rami’s big passion in life is to educate, motivate and influence the people who refuse to settle for being average, mediocre and realistic; to being the most ambitious and successful that they may possibly become through his story; what he went through as well as what he had to do to overcome all of the hardship.
​
Now, more than ever, Rami began his own journey of producing original peak performance psychology content for business and for life in an attempt to become a recognised voice of entrepreneurship and psychology both online and offline.

TALENT, PERSONALITY & ORGANISATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Through everything that Rami went through during his life, he had no one to help him nor to teach him how to overcome it all in order to create a new life. It was for this reason that ever since a young child, Rami's passion was to help people going through similar or worse things, being there for them since he had no one there for him. Rami obtained his academic credentials as well as being an officially certified member of the European Federation of Psychologist's Association and the British Psychological Society.
PSYCHOMETRICIAN

MY VERIFIABLE CAREER JOURNEY
2006
- Obtained my first official student job thanks to my father at Watson Wyatt Brussels (now Willis Towers Watson) in their Data Services department, job consisted of doing data entry. I was nominated for Employee of the Month since in 3 months I accomplished what the team produced in 1 year, only to have this award revoked since the team disliked me and I had caused tensions as a result of my work.
- Through acquaintances and frequent visitation to VT Sports (a Brussels-based car tuning parts store) I started tuning and modifying client cars during my free time until 2010 in order to raise money due to my father being made redundant by an American multinational that no longer exists.
2007
- During the summer of 2007, as a result of a family neighbour working for the World Customs Organisation in Brussels, I was hired as a Clerk working for the Information Systems & Telecommunications Services department, doing data entry and assisting in IT related work.

I raised 31 million Euros worth of Membership Contributions, 19 million Euros were earned previously.
2012
- I was fired from my position within this department at the World Customs Organisation due to my supervisor and a direct colleague having a problem with me, having framed me by associating my name to failed and abandoned projects in addition to associating my name to budgets that were miscalculated and mismanaged within the intranet, things that I was never involved in. An Executive Officer for whom I worked, helping with the planning of official events also claimed ownership of all of my work. I was briefly transferred to another department, but after rumours were being spread about me, and after receiving a partial scholarship to study at Hult International Business School in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; I resigned from the World Customs Organisation. A few months later, my former supervisor, direct colleague as well as the Executive Officer were fired from their positions for wrong-doing.
