Sea to Life

The Founders

SeaToLife was co-founded by Vasileios Bouloukos and Christina Mentorou, a couple who combined their backgrounds in engineering, AI, life sciences, and sustainability to address one of Greece’s most pressing challenges: water scarcity. Their shared vision is to bring global expertise and innovative solutions to the local community, creating a future where the sea truly becomes life.

Vasileios Bouloukos – Co-Founder

Vasileios is an Electrical & Computer Engineer (NTUA) with over 20 years of experience in technology, AI, networks, and cybersecurity. He also holds an MSc in Communication Systems from the University of Bristol, UK. Entrepreneur at heart, with successful ventures in IT and real estate, Vasileios has led projects that combine advanced engineering with practical solutions for business and society.

He has a strong passion for his work, having earned more than 70 professional certifications in his field of specialization, which reflect his commitment to continuous learning and innovation. He is also a proud member of MENSA Greece, the international high IQ society, a recognition of his analytical skills and ability to approach complex problems with creativity and vision.

Beyond his professional achievements, Vasileios is deeply motivated to apply his expertise to environmental and social challenges. His vision for SeaToLife grew from years of research on how other countries facing water scarcity — such as Israel and Cyprus — developed long-term solutions through desalination, reuse, and renewable energy. Vasileios believes Greece, with its abundance of sunlight and coastline, can become a leader in sustainable water management if knowledge and innovation are brought together.

He is also particularly focused on how water scarcity affects agriculture and food security, since farming is the backbone of Greece’s economy and culture. Without secure access to water and proper water quality monitoring, food production and rural livelihoods are under serious threat. At SeaToLife, he works on promoting projects that integrate desalination, smart irrigation, and renewable-powered solutions to protect both farmers and consumers, ensuring resilience for the future.

Christina Mentorou – Co-Founder

Christina is a Biologist with an MSc in Biochemistry from the University of Bristol, UK, and she has worked for more than 15 years as an Embryologist in leading medical centers. Her career has given her a profound appreciation of how science can improve lives, while also teaching the importance of sustainability, precision, and responsibility in every action.

With her strong scientific background, Christina brings a unique dimension to SeaToLife. She connects the biological and human aspects of water scarcity — how it affects not only ecosystems but also the health and nutrition of communities. Having studied the role of biochemistry and water quality in human health, she emphasizes how polluted or inadequate water directly impacts both people and food systems.

At SeaToLife, Christina leads the community and awareness initiatives, ensuring that citizens, families, and organizations understand the importance of water and are inspired to take part in collective action. She is also passionate about linking sustainability with agriculture and food security, highlighting how better water management and cleaner water sources are vital for safe crops, healthy diets, and the wellbeing of future generations.
