Eve Geroulis
Director of Development | Faculty
[email protected]
Eve Geroulis is a marketing strategist and educator devoted to exploring the synergies and intersection of politics, technology, economics, and culture on a global stage. After a 20+ year career with international advertising agencies, tech start-ups, and co-founding a VC funded lifestyle dot com, Eve joined the faculty of Loyola University Chicago Quinlan School of Business in 2003 teaching in the Department of Marketing. Eve has served as visiting faculty at the Edhec School of Business in Nice, France, The American College of Greece, and College Year in Athens. In addition to her teaching, Eve has worked with organizations in the U.S. and Europe advising on digital and global marketing, and the role of pedagogy in strategic planning for institutions and corporations. She has commented on mercantile and political realities for news organizations, delivered a TEDxAcademy Talk in Athens in October 2011, the opening address of the TED Brussels | EU Marie Curie Actions Research & Innovation Conference in Brussels in July 2012, and a TED Wrigleyville Talk in July 2023. Eve holds her BA in Political Science & Journalism from Loyola University Chicago and her MSA from Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism. Empty nesting with her husband of 40 years, together they realized an adolescent ambition and moved to Athens in May 2025. Eve admires how their four adult children are courageously making their way in the world from Denver, Los Angeles, and NYC. She is, consequently, a spirited believer in the power and possibility of the next generation. Fervently committed to abandoning 20th century paradigms if we hope to address 21st century challenges, Eve – named after the mother of all mothers, and in the spirit of her namesake – is a professional pessimist but a personal optimist. She remains enthusiastically open to explaining that dichotomy.
