Stefanos Kasselakis (Greek: Στέφανος Κασσελάκης; born 29 March 1988[2]) is a Greek businessman, entrepreneur and politician, who is currently serving as the leader of Syriza.[3]
Kasselakis spent a considerable portion of his life residing in the US, where he worked in the banking and shipping sectors and contributed as a writer for the National Herald. He was registered as a Republican, supported Kyriakos Mitsotakis and endorsed his candidacy for party leader in 2015. He was an MP candidate with SYRIZA in the May and June 2023 Greek parliamentary elections. In the 2023 Syriza leadership election, he secured a surprising victory over Effie Achtsioglou. However, a few months after his win, Syriza underwent a division, resulting in the departure of 11 Members of Parliament (MPs) and three Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), who exited the party in protest of Kasselakis' ideology and practices.[4][5][6][7]
