Panayotis Taloumis, a well-connected patriarch
Although he is now over 70, Franco-Greek businessman Panayotis Taloumis, known by his friends as "Pana", remains an authoritarian figure who keeps a tight hold on the reins of his group. A genuine self-made man who arrived in Madagascar as a teenager, he set up TAF, his first company, in the 1960s.
