Lucas Papademos, Greece's technocrat new prime minister, is a former European Central Bank (ECB) vice-president who is seen as well placed to handle the debt crisis.
The 64-year-old is well known in Europe's capitals.
As head of the Bank of Greece, he oversaw his country's move from the drachma to the euro in 2002.
More recently, as an adviser to outgoing Prime Minister George Papandreou, he took part in the negotiations between Athens and the "troika" of international creditors (the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank) bailing out the Greek government.
His career has crossed the academic and policymaking worlds.
AN UN-ELECTED BANKER/BUREAUCRAT/ACADEMICIAN WHO HAS NEVER BEEN IN BUSINESS IS NOW PM.
MORE PROOF THAT THE EU IS UNDEMOCRATIC AND SOCIALISTIC.
THE BANKS NOW RUN GREECE. FOR THE BENEFIT OF BANKS AND THE REST OF EUROPE.
WHAT ABOUT THE GREEKS!? DON'T THEY DESERVE DEMOCRACY?
NOT ACCORDING TO THE EUSSR APPARATCHIKS.
