Though he launched 'DIMOKRATIA' barely two years ago, John Filippakis has been active in greek publishing for more than two decades, first as CEO of Daphne Magazines (which he sold in 2005 to ANT1, Greece's largest broadcaster) and then as CEO of the Daily Press Group which included three newspapers and eleven magazines.  DPG was sold to a Private Equity Group in 2009 and in 2010, John moved against the tide by launching 'DIMOKRATIA' ,a daily, paid-for general interest newspaper which rapidly became the greek Press's remarkable success story.  Two years on, Dimokratia has also developed a Sunday edition and a daily edition for northern Greece, further solidifying its position as the country's most dynamic and innovating print brand.
