Ioanna Angelidaki is a Greek entrepreneur, co-founder, and Chief Marketing Officer at Instashop (an online grocery delivery service in the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Greece).

Biography

From 2003 to 2008 Angelidaki studied at the Technical University of Crete with a degree in Industrial Engineering and Management. From 2008 to 2010, she received her master's degree in Marketing Management from the same university. Angelidaki met co-founder InstaShop Tsioris in 2003 while studying for her mechanical engineering diploma. After graduating, Angelidaki set herself up as an online marketing freelancer.

In 2013, Angelidaki and Tsioris came up with the idea for a voice-based social platform, Vound, allowing users to create 11-second clips using their voices, photos, special effects, and other sounds, but the project was closed after 17 months. In May 2015, Angelidaki founded Instashop with Tsioris.

In 2020, Berlin-based food ordering and delivery company Delivery Hero acquired her company for $360 million. The brand will continue to live on as an independent platform led by Tsioris and Angelidaki. The transaction is said to set a record value for a Greek startup and is one of the largest recent exits in the MENA region more generally.
