In the occasions I have worked with Lucas I have found him to be a resourceful and driven professional, with a keen eye for those particular elements that can help distinguish a brand and give it the necessary boost to differentiate itself from the crowd. His knowledge of the gaming industry and its accompanying community of gamers has been a valuable source of intel, while his personal dedication has provided us with a truly invaluable and reliable partner.

Lucas is a very professional and focused individual. I had the pleasure of meeting him just three weeks ago and he has proven himself to be reliable, determined and driven. There is no doubt that Lucas will achieve his career goals or in fact anything else he sets his mind to because he has a positive attitude, a great sense of humour and makes the effort to go the extra mile. I wish him all the best in his career and I sincerely hope that I will get the chance to work with him in the future..

I wouldn’t know where to begin if I was to recommend Lucas to any future employer/business partner. This guy excels at so many skills some of which are community management related while others fall into brand management, social media marketing and content creation to name some. If however I was to focus on only two of his best qualities, these would be the ability to be proactive and think ahead and also the fact he is a people person, always approachable and always able to fit into teams of people bringing out the best of everyone.
Chin Soon SunCommunity & Social Media Manager at KOEI TECMO EUROPE LTD
Lucas is a passionate and hard working individual when it comes to community management (apart from fitness). He keeps his Greek community updated with the latest news SCEE news and video games. Also he is open minded, kind with knowledge sharing and he always replies and lends a helping hand to take his community to the next level.
Apart from that, he is also the one who always gives me advice, encourages me and motivates me to keep going to improve not just working in this industry but also improve myself to become a better person each day.
He is valuable to his community and is good at his job. Unlike most of the other community managers, he also steps out from the chair in his office to actually meet his community in real life from the various expos and events to help them and inspire them. I believe this is how a community should build his network and community.

I had been cooperating with Mr. Liaskos Lucas, when he was employed in our company Infoassist SA.
During that time, he had displayed excellent professional skills and proved himself as a fine hard working young man. Throughout the day, his team working skills, efficient performing and programmed schedule, bring about the most desirable results. In addition he was distinguished for his adaptability at the increasingly high demands of his section, with constant research and his willing attendance to related seminars.
The above professional performance was supplemented with his personality traits; he had analytic and practical thinking, takes constructive initiative, is reliable, assiduous and ambitious. These were some of his characteristics, which in combination with his excellent knowledge on IT h/w and s/w made him a very efficient and productive employee.
