Aristotelis Mistakidis

Aristotelis “Telis” Mistakidis is a Greek metals trader who became a billionaire working for Glencore. He has joint Greek/British citizenship.

Aristotelis Mistakidis, known as “Telis,” stepped down from his role as the director of Glencore’s copper business at the end of 2018.

In 2018, Canadian regulators fined and banned Mistakidis from serving as a director due to compliance violations.

Mistakidis got his start in commodities at Cargill and joined Marc Rich & Co. in 1993. Later, the firm was bought by management and renamed Glencore.

He first became a billionaire in 2011 when Glencore went public, and currently owns more than 3% of the company’s stock.
