# Vasilis Theoharakis

**Vasilis Theoharakis** is a **co-author** of the HBR article, associated with management and marketing scholarship (linked to Harvard Business School and partner institutions in the source's authorship).

**Profile / role in the source:** He is one of the academic voices that formalized the [[concept-f2f-strategy|F2F strategy]], the [[framework-f2f-playbook|F2F Playbook]], and the [[framework-f2f-competitive-advantages|three difficult-to-imitate qualities]] — providing the strategic-management and marketing framing that turns the [[entity-vitex|Vitex]] experience into a generalizable argument.

**Attributed contributions in this vault:** Co-author of the collective author claims — [[claim-professionalization-destroys-advantage]], [[claim-trust-gap]], [[claim-f2f-drives-innovation]], [[claim-f2f-accelerates-decisions]] — and of the author-attributed quotes [[quote-f2f-innovation-advantage]] and [[quote-f2f-outpace-competitors]].

**Note (enrichment):** The overlay identifies him within management/marketing scholarship and as a co-author of the F2F piece and case material; precise institutional affiliation is not stated in the source text itself.
