Andreas Leptourgos

President, Co-Founder & CEO at BuyBackWorld

Andreas brings high-intensity energy and enthusiasm to work each and every day which is resonated throughout the entire company, encouraging and promoting a workspace where passion for technology and environmental responsibility fuse together. His ability to provide both strategic leadership from an executive-level while simultaneously working alongside each and every member of the BuyBackWorld Team help him to not only stay involved in the pulse of everyday business but also drive strong revenues and explosive growth for the company from both the bottom up and top down since its inception in 2010.

Andreas has always been intrigued by what he coins the "cultural fascination" of people in different countries. He explains this phenomenon as the pursuit of those that are always interested in what the inhabitants of another country possess; whether it is music, food, fashion, or in this case, technology. Coupled with the belief that just because one individual might be done with a particular piece of technology doesn't mean that another individual can't find value in it and driven by a longing to unearth the psychological drivers behind the motivations of behavioral buying, Andreas always thought of smartphones as a "disruptive technology" that would forever change the way they interact with each other and seek and attain information. The value proposition behind extending the useful life and intrinsic value of a smartphone beyond a "one-time-use" was simply too much to ignore.
