Stelios Kyriakakis

Chief Operating Officer

I am the Head of Finance at the IKEA Foundation. I am originally from Greece but have lived the last 20 years outside my home country: in Australia, Belgium and now in the Netherlands. I have a degree in economics and I have worked most of my career in different parts of the IKEA business, mainly in retail. I have a daughter who, like her dad, is good with numbers and works hard to become a mathematician. The most rewarding part of my job is visiting the projects the IKEA Foundation is supporting and experiencing the positive impact we can have on people’s lives.
