Track Record
We close deals in emerging markets. Special economic zones. Capital raising. Cross-border M&A. The kind that need government relationships and partners who stay through execution.
Our Approach
We measure success by outcomes, not presentations.
Deals that closed. Presidential approvals secured. Capital that mobilized. Some took months. Others took years. All required staying through delivery.
This selection shows range—from US$100 million to US$2 billion+, across public and private sectors, spanning Africa, Asia, Middle East, and beyond. Proof of concept, not case studies.
