He has also provided strategic direction on the services the institution offers to its customers by employing data-driven methodologies, prioritizing the customer experience and leading ongoing enhancements of the services for all three UNT campuses.
Notably, Galiopoulos has demonstrated success in utilizing proven process models to provide end-to-end services to UNT’s customers and a passion for analytics.
