Alexandros Kechagiadakis was among the first Bar Academy students, completing all seminar levels by 2010 before joining some of Athens’ most renowned venues — including Hytra, 360 Cocktail Bar and Ark in Glyfada — earning multiple awards along the way that took him around the world through spirits. His love for travel, culture and learning led him from the University of Piraeus to a marketing career, and today he serves as USA Market Manager for the Greek spirits company DS Concepts, based in Miami. One of only four Greek bartenders to complete BAR 5, Alexandros is also part of Liquid Productions, contributing to some of the largest events across the U.S.
