Tell us about yourself and your background
My professional journey has been anchored in working with emerging and frontier markets across Europe, the US, and the Global South, especially Africa, India, and the Middle East. I have spent close to a decade bridging capital with opportunity, often in complex environments where infrastructure is nascent, governance is evolving, and innovation emerges from necessity. My expertise spans private equity, debt structuring, strategic consulting, and government liaison for sustainable projects under the UN’s SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) # 3, 7, 9, 11, 17. What drives me is the transformational potential of cross-border partnerships, i.e., when capital is channelled into projects, the results can be not just profitable but truly developmental.
How did you get started in Private Equity & Merger and Acquisitions?
I started by supporting mid-market businesses and family offices that were keen on expanding into Europe, the US, and the Global South, especially Africa, India, and the Middle East, but lacked local insight or structured support. Many had capital but lacked a trusted execution partner who could navigate local policy, identify credible on-ground partners, and structure viable investments through strong in-house project research and due diligence. Over time, I moved deeper into deal structuring, capital raising, and working with institutional funds, family offices, and development banks. That’s how I built a practice rooted in both strategic advisory and financial execution.
Tell us about your company, Kapital G Corporate Partners
Kapital G Corporate Partners (KGCP) is a global strategic corporate house headquartered in Mayfair, London, operating globally with a deep focus on Europe, the US, and the Global South, especially Africa, India, and the Middle East. We serve as a strategic bridge between capital providers, especially family offices, institutional lenders, and government funds and high-impact, growth-stage ventures in emerging economies. Our work includes capital structuring, project due diligence, M&A consulting on buying-side and expansion and facilitating policy-level engagement for our clients. We pride ourselves on being one of the few firms globally that combine deep emerging market experience with a Western governance lens and policy influence.
What inspired you to found the company?
In many emerging markets, access to capital is not just a financial problem—it’s a structural one. Promising ventures are often left behind due to a lack of bankable documentation, geopolitical risk perception, or poor navigation of foreign investor expectations. I saw a need for a platform that could guide both sides—helping businesses in Europe, the US, and the Global South, especially Africa, India, and the Middle East become investment-ready and supporting Gulf-based or global investors to deploy smart, de-risked capital. KGCP was created to fill that trust gap, combining transactional expertise with local understanding and strategic positioning.
What is your mission?
Our mission is to connect capital with context, ensuring that the investors from developed or Gulf economies can confidently enter frontier markets, while also helping businesses in these markets scale in a compliant, structured, and globally credible way. We aim to accelerate sustainable economic development through strategic investment and consulting support, especially in sectors aligned with national development plans—energy, infrastructure, agriculture and sustainable healthcare.
What services do you offer?
We offer a full-suite end-to-end solutions tailored for emerging market transactions, such as:
- Project Due Diligence – Commercial, financial, and governance reviews tailored for investors eyeing frontier markets.
- Capital Raising & Funding Solutions – Structuring equity, debt, or blended finance from family offices, DFIs, and credit funds.
- M&A Consulting – Buy-side representation for Gulf or international buyers entering African or South Asian markets.
- Private Debt & Equity Capital Markets – Access to revolving credit lines, structured loans, and private placements.
- Market Entry Strategy – Helping African firms enter the UK or Gulf and vice versa, with sector-specific strategy and localisation plans.
- Government Liaison – Mapping ministries, procurement units, and tender pathways across countries.
- Trade Facilitation – Commodity trade structuring (fuel, minerals, agriculture), cross-border contracting, and logistics financing.
- JV Structuring & Implementation – End-to-end joint venture creation for multinationals and sovereign-backed projects.
- LP Consulting – Supporting established business persons to invest intelligently through funds and family offices.
In what industries do you operate?
We focus on high-impact sectors, those that shape economies and uplift communities. This includes:
- Agriculture & Agri-Tech
- Energy & Renewables
- Infrastructure & Logistics
- Sustainable Healthcare
- M&A (Acquisition & Expansion)
- Commodity & Ethical Trade
How can a business start seeking funding and what are the best available options in your opinion?
The first step is structuring the deal, conducting business due diligence, clear documentation, building credibility, transparent governance and assessing a defined market opportunity. Once the business is “funding-ready,” the right capital depends on the nature of the deal and the stage of growth:
- Early-stage ventures (with substantial experience in the sector) can benefit from catalytic grants, family offices or institutional funds.
- Growth-stage firms may explore blended finance—equity plus structured credit.
- Infrastructure or trade-heavy businesses should look to revolving facilities or project finance.
How do you support businesses in building systems that endure rapid scaling?
We act not just as a corporate house but as long-term partners. KGCP helps design operational systems, governance frameworks, and reporting tools needed for scale. We also embed post-investment support, stakeholder coordination, and JV governance. For businesses expanding into new jurisdictions, especially cross-border, we guide on localisation and local partner selection to ensure sustainability.
What interesting projects are you currently involved in?
We’re currently working on numerous projects in different sectors interesting amongst which is a $60M Oil and Gas drilling project in the US, a $25M renewable energy project in North Africa, $40M sustainable hospital project in West Africa, $100M electrical vehicle expansion project in India, a $12M hotel acquisition deal in Qatar, a $15M British feature film addressing LGBTQ under social impact investment, a $20M luxury boutique resort in East Africa and $200M Oil refinery (Phase I) in central Africa (SPV in Dubai).
We are also developing regular white papers in a diversity of sectors for institutional investors and policymakers alike to unlock newer funding opportunities globally.
Do you have a successful case study you can share?
We sign a non-disclosure agreement with our clients; however, we are happy to share a case study. Recently, we supported a Series A stage logistics company (expansion) in Eastern Europe. Also, we have structured their governance model, implemented investor reporting protocols, and facilitated negotiations. The transaction closed with a mix of equity and working capital debt, allowing the company to expand within 18 months.
How do you see the role of AI evolving in M&A and private equity in the next decade, especially with AI gaining momentum?
AI will play a game-changing role in frontier deal-making. In markets where data is scarce or inconsistent, AI can help investors analyse risk trends, customer behaviour, and financial anomalies. Tools that auto-detect fraud, model currency volatility, or forecast project viability will democratise capital access for emerging markets. We are exploring AI-integrated due diligence platforms to support funding, with greater confidence and transparency.
Where do you see Kapital G Corporate Partners in five years, and what kind of legacy do you hope to leave behind?
We aim to play a significant role in Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) which is compliant under ESG policy and followed by UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guidelines such as:
SDG 3 Good Health & Well-being
SDG 7 Affordable & Clean Energy
SDG 9 Industry Innovation & Infrastructure
SDG 11 Sustainable Cities & Communities
SDG 12 Responsible Consumption & Production
Our five-year vision is to expand our offices across Dubai, New York & Nairobi and deepen our partnerships with sovereign funds and family offices. The legacy I hope to leave is one of trust, transformation, and tangible development where private capital becomes a force for stability and prosperity across the Global South, Europe and the US.
