1. Case Study - Partner, US Growth/Impact Fund (Africa), UK
Owing to further growth & impact opportunities in a specific geography, we were retained to engage a Partner to join a US Growth Fund’s investment team, requiring language skills and local connectivity. We secured a senior trilingual candidate with an impact and investment track record across core sectors important to the client
2. Case Study - Chief Investment Officer, Credit/Mezzanine Fund, Botswana
We were retained to find the Chief Investment Officer of a DFI-backed Southern African Credit/Mezzanine Fund in Botswana. Having leveraged our network of Africa Private Equity and Credit Investors we secured a candidate who excelled in origination, team leadership, investor relations, and portfolio management.
3. Case Study - Partner, Smart Infrastructure Impact Fund, Kenya
An opportunity arose to expand & improve the Partnership at a fund in Kenya. We were retained to engage someone with a complementary sectoral skillset for an off-grid energy/smart infrastructure investor and having committed to a 50% diverse shortlist, along with DFI oversight, we completed securing a fantastic Ghanaian female Partner.
