Alexander Peridakis Friis

Senior Compliance Officer
Copenhagen,Denmark

Summary

I was born in Amman, Jordan to a Danish father working for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and my Greek/Italian mother who worked with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hassan. Most of my formative years were spent in Bonn, Germany where I attended the American Department of Defense school and later graduated with an IB Diploma from Bonn International School.

I lead an active life being a member of BSA (Boy Scouts of America) for over 10 years, where I was a troop leader for most of my senior time. I also served as an active member of the Church and Youth group which gave me the opportunities to travel around Europe, and most notably traveled to Romania several times to help rebuild an ex-Communist camp into an orphanage.
