Anastasios Papadopoulos
After completing his training in M&A at Skadden Arps, Anastasios founded Integrated Management Systems (IMS) in 2016 with the vision of combining proprietary, world-class technology with operational excellence. Recognising an opportunity to combine capital and capability to maximise the odds of success in venture capital, he then founded venture builder IMS Digital Ventures, merging operational experience with an ecosystem advantage to consistently beat industry benchmarks across the board.
As the strategic driver behind one of the world's most successful venture builders, Anastasios' early vision has allowed him to redefine what it means to strategically structure venture capital investing. He has expertly guided IMS Digital Ventures' subsequent evolution into a global investment house, expanding its partnership network to include some of the world's most prominent and forward-thinking family offices. He has led the growth of the IMS portfolio and family office network, establishing offices in new markets from Hong Kong to New York.
Anastasios read Law in France and in the UK and holds a Management degree from HEC Paris.

He began his professional career in the UK as a Project Finance lawyer at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner before moving to the US to help a private family office build, develop and operate one of the largest and most successful gaming and entertainment companies in the world.
He leveraged his experience with building businesses and project execution to start investing in and joining the boards of early-stage CPG marketing platform ventures such as Wecheer.IO and renewable energy technology ventures such as Standard Gas Technologies.
