Karel Komárek, founder and chairman of KKCG, was recently featured in the Financial Times for his remarkable journey onto the global business stage. The profile highlights his strategic leadership, the strength of KKCG Group’s diverse portfolio, and the recent milestones that demonstrate the group’s ambition and long-term vision.
One pillar of this success is KKCG’s entertainment business, Allwyn, which announced a €16 billion combination with OPAP, creating the world’s second-largest listed lottery and gaming company. The combined company will remain listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, with plans for an additional listing in London or New York. This strategic move will provide broader access to international capital and fuel future growth opportunities.
