Terry Serepisos

Terry Serepisos (b. Greece, 1963) is a Wellington, NZ based millionaire property developer who has provided the start-up capital [http://www.infonews.co.nz/news.cfm?l=86&t=0&id=407] to ensure the new A-league Phoenix football team was able to get off the ground. He is sole owner of the club and has cited his reasons for getting involved as philanthropic. [http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=86&objectid=10451189] He was voted the 2007 Mercure Wellington Sports Personality of the Year winner [http://www.sportwellington.org.nz/] for his involvement in Wellington, NZ sport.Serepisos also harbours ambitions to build the tallest building in Wellington: The Dominion Post, Saturday, 24 March 2007]

"Serepisos, 43, would like to make a lasting impression in Wellington. "I want to leave my landmark in Wellington and to be remembered for that.
"This (the A-League team) is part of that and I would like to create the tallest building in the city."
If Serepisos does manage to build Wellington's tallest building, it will almost certainly be dedicated to his father, Jimmy, and older brother Kosta. Jimmy Serepisos died in 2005 and Kosta succumbed to leukaemia last year."
