Konstantina Rappou
Technical Director, Camper & Nicholsons Marinas First Eastern office, Hong Kong
Konstantina is the Technical Director of the Camper & Nicholsons Marinas First Eastern office, Hong Kong, developing marina projects from feasibility/ concept stage to commissioning stage. She began her tenure as a Technical Director in October 2013 and is focused on the direction of the current portfolio of marinas in South East Asia and China region.
Her professional experience extends to Asia, Middle East, Africa, UK and Southern Europe. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering in London, she spent eight years working for Atkins, specializing in coastal protection, maritime structures and port planning and management. She moved to Hong Kong six years ago as an engineering consultant to another global engineering, management and development consultancy, Mott MacDonald. Having completed more than ten years of post-graduate experience service in the maritime engineering sector, in design, project management, and construction supervisor roles, she proceeded to work in a fast, upscale environment, assuring client satisfaction on luxury marinas.
Passionate about the water, sailing and creating a lifestyle, the move to Camper and Nicholsons First Eastern was a natural fit. For the past six years, she has been overseeing the planning, design, and construction of several marina developments in the Asia Pacific region and has been sharing her enthusiasm and experience on the 'living on the sea' way of life in this fascinating part of the world!
Konstantina is from Athens, Greece. Having spent thirteen years in London, United Kingdom, she now lives in Hong Kong with her son.
