Evangelos Marinakis studied at the American International University in London, gaining a bachelor’s degree in International Business Administration and a master’s degree in International Relations. After completing his education, he followed in his father’s footsteps, entering both Greek politics and the shipping industry.

Evangelos Marinakis was the Commercial Manager for Capital Ship Management Corporation from 1992 to 2005.

In 2014, Mr Marinakis was elected to the Piraeus City Council. Joining forces with Piraeus Mayor and Vice President of Olympiacos F.C. Yannis Moralis, he co-founded the independent ‘Piraeus Winner’ alliance. Since election, the alliance has focused on transforming the port city of Piraeus into a tourist destination and upgrading infrastructure. Mr Marinakis has pledged his own finances to fund redevelopment and the creation of new businesses and jobs in Piraeus, while improving the standard of living for local people.

A long-time supporter of Olympiacos F.C., Mr Marinakis was able to buy a majority share in his hometown’s football club in 2010. As President, Mr Marinakis led the team to seven consecutive championship wins.

In 2017, Evangelos Marinakis acquired Nottingham Forest Football Club, the Football League’s oldest club. Gaining approval from the English Football League, he has embarked on an ambitious redevelopment project at the club’s historic grounds which will see it become the East Midlands’ largest stadium.

Renowned for his philanthropy work, Mr Marinakis orchestrated a €168,590 donation on behalf of Olympiacos F.C. to the ‘Greece Debt Free’ charity in 2012. Following the earthquake in 2014, he also pledged €500,000 to help rebuild schools in Cephalonia.

Mr Marinakis is one of the global shipping industry’s most prominent figures. In 2017, his outstanding achievements in the industry were commemorated by Lloyd’s List in a special awards ceremony in Athens, where he was presented with its ‘Greek Shipping Personality of the Year’ award. In 2018, Lloyd’s List ranked Mr Marinakis 59th in its ‘100 Most Influential People in the Shipping Industry’.
