Adam Wampler, Vice President

Originally from Dallas, Texas, Adam moved to the Austin area to complete his undergraduate studies at Southwestern University in 2008. Since graduating in 2012, he has served in various capacities within the Talent and Recruiting industries, helping to grow private consulting agencies, fortune 500 companies, local start-ups, as well as managing his own private practice. Currently, he directs recruiting for RealWork Labs, a SaaS company based in Austin, TX that enables small businesses in the home services industry to grow their online presence and build trust and transparency with potential customers. 

Adam is a dedicated and focused professional with a passion for enabling others to achieve their fullest potential. He aims to apply that same dedication to the GBSA, encouraging St. Edward's MBA students to go on to shape their respective industries as future leaders. 

Adam is an avid fan of Jazz music, and when he isn't listening to Art Blakey or Cannonball Adderly you might catch him (poorly) attempting to play along with the greats on his trumpet. He and his wife Linder live in Shady Hollow in south Austin, and are currently expecting their first child, due in May of this year.

Eirini Alikampioti, Social Marketing Officer

Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Eirini Alikampioti moved to Austin, Texas during the coronavirus pandemic where she has been living for more than two years. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Shipping from the University of Piraeus in Greece; thus, she holds a shipbroking diploma by the HSA (Hellenic Shipbrokers Association) with emphasis in developing negotiating skills. She’s worked for some of the most respectable Shipping companies in Greece and had the chance to work with established business partners of the worldwide market trade. Nevertheless, the overall working experience in shipping motivated her to move to the United States, to chase her dreams and explore another lifestyle.

Currently, Eirini is a first-year MBA candidate at St. Edward’s University and following graduation, she aims to pursue a career in marketing and social media orientation. Eirini was driven to pursue a master’s degree in business from her passion for connecting people around the world and serving their purposes besides time and cultural differences. In general, she is a dog lover and adores the culture and the friendly vibes of Austin. As hobbies, Eirini enjoys spinning, hiking, exploring different states and she hopes to learn the violin soon. It is an honor for Eirini to join the Graduate Business Student Association as a Social Marketing Officer and she is looking forward to contributing to the GBSA’s mission.
