‘Winning hearts and minds’: Edward Chandler and Filippos Antonopoulos on the next chapter of OKTO
| By James Swann-Phillips
From its founding in 2019 by entrepreneur Filippos Antonopoulos, OKTO has propelled itself into a top spot in the digital payments landscape. Six years on, Antonopoulos is moving into an executive chairman role to hand the reigns of CEO to payments veteran Edward Chandler as OKTO prepares for its next phase of growth. With a background in Visa and Mastercard, Chandler is bringing OKTO into a bold new chapter — but one where the company still “does the boring stuff really, really well,” he says. Hear from Antonopoulos and Chandler on what they’ve learnt from each others’ leadership, how they plan to conquer new markets, and the future of one of the igaming payment sector’s standout success stories.
