Jack Kachkar
Jack Kachkar is CEO of Inyx, Inc, a speciality pharmaceutical company founded in 2003.
Kachkar was born in Damascus, Syria. His father was of Syrian-Armenian ancestry (Mihran Missak Kachkar; nee Kachkarian).
Jack immigrated to Canada in September, 1969. He attended School and University of Alberta in Edmonton prior to transferring to Hungary where he attained a medical degree. He tried to purchase Olympique de Marseille football club in early 2007. [1] A delay was caused due to the origin of his funds needs to be verified by the French market authorities before any transaction. [2] Marseilles' boss broke off talks with Kachkar after the Canadian asked for a further delay to pay the 115mil euro price that had been set for him to take over the former European champions.
In 2005, the High Court in Ireland ruled in favour of restricting Dr Jack Kachkar under the Companies Act: Mitek Holdings Ltd v Companies Act [2005] IEHC 63.[1] The order has been stayed pending an appeal to the Irish Supreme Court.[2]
