Georgios Panou serves as Chief Investment Officer and Director of Aeon Acquisition I Corp. (Nasdaq: AESP/AESPU), a Miami, Florida-based blank-check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that raised $125 million in its June 2026 IPO (initially filed for $250 million). The SPAC, backed by The Aeon Group and Octagon Basketball Europe, targets the professional sports and sports-related entertainment industries with an emphasis on European markets, particularly European basketball, focusing on businesses with enterprise values between $500 million and $1 billion. Panou is joined on the leadership team by CEO and Director Demetrios Mallios, CFO and Director Alan Lewis, COO Rock Klinefelter, Chief Strategy Officer Alex Saratsis, and Chief Business Officer Themis Bilionis. According to SEC filings, Panou has served as an officer since October 2025 and was designated to serve as a director upon completion of the offering. He is listed as a director, 10% owner, and insider of the company, with his mailing address recorded as Miami, FL 33130.
Beyond his SPAC role, Panou is a Senior Director at Octagon Europe Basketball, where he serves as Director of Greece and Cyprus. He graduated from the Visa Skola za Sportske Trenere (Higher School of Sports Trainers) in Belgrade and began his career as an assistant coach in Greek basketball, working with the Greek Men's national team that won the silver medal at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, as well as with numerous Greek A1 clubs. Since 2010, he transitioned to player representation, joining FCM before moving to Octagon, and has recruited some of the best prospects in Greece, most notably two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful and respected basketball agents in Greece. Panou is also the founder and CEO of UPGR8, a sports agency described as cultivating unique and lucrative business opportunities, and CEO of OIS Agency. His social media profiles confirm his roles as Senior Director at Octagon Europe and CEO of both UPGR8 and OIS Agency. He is active on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @GPanouOCT and on Instagram as @grgpanou, where he has over 6,600 followers.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002112062 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 8 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 6 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
