Alexandra Κ. Vovolini read law at the University of Athens and pursued postgraduate studies in shipping at University College London. She practised law from 1976 to 1992, while at the same time she wrote for the magazine “Viomichaniki Epitheorissis” («Βιομηχανική Επιθεώρησις»), published by its founder, Spyros Vovolinis. In 1990, she took over as owner and editor of the magazine named then as “Viomichaniki Epitheorissi” («Βιομηχανική Επιθεώρηση»). In 1996, she founded Kerkyra Publications S.A. and published the magazine, which was successively renamed “Viomichaniki Oikonomiki Epitheorissi” (“Industrial Economic Review” / «Βιομηχανική Οικονομική Επιθεώρηση», 1997-1998) and “Oikonomiki Viomichaniki Epitheorissi” (“Economic Industrial Review”/«Οικονομική Βιομηχανική Επιθεώρηση», 1998-2003). In the meantime, in 1991 she started publishing in English a quarterly Industrial Review Special Survey Series, which in 1998 was renamed “Business File” and closed down in December 2022. In the same month, “Oikonomiki Epitheorissi”, “Business File” and the economia.gr website were transferred to a new owner, Economia Media S.A.

In the course of the 2000s, the company’s activity expanded to publishing economic and business books. The physical bookshop, which had been established in 2002, closed in 2006. In the meantime, in 1997, she set up a special entity to preserve the family’s archive, under the name “Vovolinis Archive”, utilizing the family archives in publications, exhibitions and research projects. In this context, projects were carried out to collect personal records and oral testimonies of prominent personalities, as well as audiovisual recordings of industrial undertakings. In 2021, she founded the Vovolinis Society for Political and Economic Studies (Εταιρεία Πολιτικών και Οικονομικών Μελετών Βοβολίνη), with the aim to promote research and publish papers in political, economic and business history, thereby contributing to the preservation of historical memory and using the Vovolinis family archival material to shed light on unknown aspects of Greek history. She currently runs Kerkyra-Economia Publishing and the online store ekdoseiskerkyra.gr.
