Antonopoulos will remain in his capacity as vice-chairman of the Intralot board of directors.
“After 22 years at the helm of Intralot since its founding, I believe this is the time for a necessary management renewal,” Antonopoulos said.
“My colleagues and I are thankful for the support of the chairman of the board and the shareholders in a most enjoyable journey towards the creation of a large multinational company deeply rooted in five continents. I will continue to support the board and the management, towards the achievement of the company goals in the new era.”
Socrates Kokkalis, the founder and group chairman of Intralot, thanked Antonopoulos “for his commitment to the Intracom and Intralot groups vision over three decades and his contribution towards creating a pioneering technological group with international recognition.”
He said Antonopoulos “remains a valuable personal advisor and member of the company board.”
