Cyprus shipping is mourning the passing of Lia Papaiacovou, the general manager for OSM’s holding companies in Cyprus and a regular on the local social scene.

When she joined OSM in 2007 and began setting up the office in Cyprus, it was Lia’s first role as a manager. Building up the office in Limassol and with a great amount of experience from other aspects of the maritime industry, Lia said she loved how the industry was so fast moving and enjoyed the challenges she came across. “The challenges make you grow,” she said.

Lia Papaiacovou was a highly-respected figure in the maritime sector. “When people see how far you have come, how competent you are in your job and how well you carry yourself, they look up to you,” she once said. “Reaching management level of course earns you respect.”

She also highlighted how important it is for people to do something they love. “You have to love the business otherwise it will be a tedious job facing all the daily challenges.”

CBN and GOLD express their deep condolences to Lia's family and friends.
