Andreas Vgenopoulos, a banker and lawyer with strong ties to shipping, died in Athens of a heart attack early on Saturday at the age of 63.
Early in his career, Vgenopoulos worked as a human relations director at Thenamaris Shipping.
In 1983, he founded Vgenopoulos & Partners, which became one of the leading shipping law firms in Greece.
In 1998 he switched to banking and finance and three years later he set up Marfin Investment Group, which rose to become the country’s biggest investment group with investments in top Greek corporate names, including former state airline Olympic Airline.
