Antonis Cassano
Co-Founder, President
Background
Antonis has spent over two decades shaping the Greek ICT market, most recently serving as Business Development & Innovation Director at Uni Systems, part of the Quest Group. His career has been defined by a deep belief in infrastructure as the foundation of transformation — and by building the strategic relationships that enable large-scale change. His focus has increasingly centred on artificial intelligence and its role in redefining how institutions, industries, and societies operate. He sees AI not simply as a technology shift, but as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redesign systems around intelligence, efficiency, and human potential.
At Pleiades
As President, Antonis brings the institutional gravitas and network a young ecosystem needs to earn the trust of large enterprises, public bodies, and European partners. He believes the most important role Pleiades can play is lowering the barriers between organisations that would otherwise never collaborate — particularly at a time when AI is accelerating the need for cross-sector cooperation, shared infrastructure, and collective innovation.
“Real innovation happens when organisations stop competing for credit and start competing for impact.”
