Abbie Vlahakis

Abbie Vlahakis is CEO of Millennium Point and its charitable parent company, Millennium Point Trust. She also serves as Deputy Lieutenant for the West Midlands and holds trustee roles with the Prince Albert Community Trust and Your City and Metropolitan Hospital Charity.

Abbie leads the Millennium Point team, focusing on driving their commercial strategy as landlord to prominent tenants like Birmingham City University and Thinktank, and as an award-winning events provider. This generates the funds needed to meet their charitable mission of supporting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) across the West Midlands.

She is committed to widening the Trust’s reach to more organisations across the region, helping to secure rewarding careers in STEM for young people. The West Midlands, home to the historic Lunar Society, continues to be a hub for innovation and technological advancement.

Before joining Millennium Point, Abbie enjoyed a successful 20-year career as a Chartered Tax Advisor at Grant Thornton and KPMG, advising entrepreneurial businesses and high net worth individuals. She holds an MBA from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.

Growing up in a South Wales mining village, Abbie is hugely aware of the importance of creating opportunities for the next generation. She is extremely passionate about supporting and promoting STEM, and creating as many opportunities as possible for future innovators.

Abbie is delighted to be part of a region that will benefit from the great technological advances associated with HS2, believing there is no better place to recognise and inspire the scientists and engineers of the future than the West Midlands.
