Founder
Meet Andri Kyprianou
I am the Founder of Olotys, a people and culture consultant with 14 plus years of international experience across global companies, scaling businesses and mission driven organisations.
I bring together structured HR practice, conscious leadership and a deep belief that work should support both performance and human dignity.
Today, I work with founders, CEOs, executives and People and Culture managers who want to grow without losing the human side of work. Through Olotys, I help them build fair people systems, strengthen leadership behaviour and turn purpose and values into everyday practice.
Currently based in Cyprus, supporting organisations locally and globally.

The Deeper Roots of the Work
Life taught me early that the way people are treated leaves lasting marks. I believe work should never demand disconnection from self in exchange for success. This conviction, together with an international career in HR and deep engagement with healing practices, shapes my approach to conscious leadership and culture.
A Path Shaped Across Systems and Cultures
I did not arrive at this work through theory. I arrived here through experience across sectors, cultures and continents.
Early in my career, I saw how success can feel empty when work is disconnected from values, trust and purpose. Later, in humanitarian and charity organisations, I experienced the opposite: people working with commitment because the mission mattered.
At Action Against Hunger, I saw how HR could support people helping children and communities affected by malnutrition. In other social impact organisations, I supported HR projects connected to homelessness, addiction recovery and disability inclusion.
At TikTok during the pandemic, I saw how even fast paced work can feel meaningful when it helps people find joy, creativity and connection. At GroupM, I experienced the value of structure, scale and disciplined people practices.
These experiences shaped how I see HR today: not only as policies and processes, but as a way to help people work with clarity, serve a purpose and feel connected to why their work matters.

Why Consciousness Matters in Leadership
To me, consciousness means awareness of impact.
Leaders shape more than business results. Their decisions, behaviours and systems shape how people feel, work, relate and grow. Over time, this affects teams, families and communities.
My parallel journey with yoga, meditation, breathwork and healing has deepened how I see this responsibility. It has taught me that real leadership starts with self-awareness, because we cannot create healthier workplaces without looking honestly at how we lead.

Healing Changed the Lens
Yoga, breathwork, meditation and inner work have become part of my way of seeing and listening. Sustainable change, whether personal or organisational, requires deep self-awareness.

Why Spirituality Belongs in the World of Work
Ancient healing ceremony, Bali, Indonesia
Spirituality in its most grounded form is the awareness of who we are, what we value, how we relate to others and what meaning we choose to serve. Stripped back, spirituality is simply consciousness in practice. It is how we relate to meaning, purpose and connection. Leaders need high consciousness because every decision carries impact, and the level of a leader’s awareness sets the level of the organisation.
Why Olotys exists
Olotys was born from the belief that work shapes human lives. Too many organisations pursue growth while people practices remain reactive or disconnected from values. Olotys helps leaders humanise work by bringing ethical HR practice, self awareness, empathy and purpose together.
Why I created Olotys
I created Olotys to help leaders bring together structure and soul.
That means building clear HR foundations, strengthening leadership behaviour, creating cultures of trust and accountability, and helping organisations turn purpose into everyday practice.
The goal is not softness without structure. It is not performance at the expense of people.
It is work where people, purpose and performance can grow together.

During her time at TikTok, Andri was instrumental in the project management of our expansion into new markets. She is resilient, hard working and proactive, taking the role of a leader and investing her energy in the success of the project. Her social skills and human attitude make it a pleasure to work with her. I would recommend Andri for any project, as she thrives in the face of challenge and is not afraid to tackle difficulties.
Mariya Kyuzova, Director of People
Andri managed the implementation of HiBob and PinPoint at Algomarketing. She has demonstrated superb, meticulous project management skills. You could hand Andri any task and trust, with complete confidence, that it would be owned and executed with care and precision. She brings an almost unearthly sense of calm, which proved invaluable in high pressure situations. From delays to vendors falling short, she consistently maintained composure and focus, setting the tone for the rest of the team.

It was a pleasure to work with Olotys for just over a year. Andri helped us staff and set up our internal HR department, processes and procedures. She is hard working and sincere, with many creative ideas, and is not afraid to challenge the norm and bring change. She has good written and verbal communication skills and brings a wealth of experience. I would definitely recommend Andri as an HR Consultant and Trainer.

I met Andri during our time with American Bureau of Shipping. She was engaged as the EMEA HR Project Manager to support the HR team to analyse, draft and launch HR handbooks in 25 countries. Her work style is professional, organised, detail oriented, logical and analytical. She can see the big picture while being creative, open minded and supportive. She goes above and beyond to meet her goals and always seeks ways to improve her work and approach.

Andri was a breath of fresh air in the company. She is a very skilful and enthusiastic professional, always looking for solutions to improve the value of the company and collaboration between employees. She quickly adapted to the fast and challenging pace of the FX industry and carried out her duties with ease. I would not hesitate to work with Andri again and believe she would be a great asset to any company, especially in Human Resources.

The Deeper Roots of the Work
The words people return to most often when describing Andri’s work are calm, clear, thoughtful, and deeply human. They speak of someone who brings structure without harshness, care without vagueness, and the kind of presence that helps people think more clearly, speak more honestly, and move forward with greater trust. Her work is thoughtful, practical, and quietly transformative.
