The ancient Greeks called it kleos - noble acts to leave behind immortal fame - and, judging by the way he chooses to live, kleos is just as important to Paul Nicolaou, the new Executive Director of Business Sydney.

For a businessman, a lifestyle geared towards kleos is more about soul than bricks and mortar, and - for this reason - he is involved in a range of charitable activities and initiatives offered pro bono which seem to just pop up as ideas in his head the one minute, and come to fruition the next.

"I love helping many community organisations," Mr Nicolaou admitted.

"I've always been involved in unpaid charitable work in all my life. A lot of it stemmed from the work I used to do at school in a whole range of charitable causes when the school asked us to participate, and then, I went to university and got involved with the Hellenic society, I got involved with the university union, I got involved with the Greek community activities," and from there he rattles off a whole list of organisations he is actively involved in.
