At the core of our team lies a dynamic blend of seasoned professionals with an extensive array of expertise that underpins our advisory and transaction-facilitation services.

We harness well-over a century of combined experience in strategic consulting, investment banking, private equity, legal advocacy, and entrepreneurial leadership, extending across diverse sectors such as Technology, Media, Telecommunications (TMT), FMCG, Financial Services, Mining, Luxury Goods, Energy, and Legal Services.

Our team has carved out opportunities for investors and guided businesses through the intricacies of mergers, acquisitions, and private equity. These decades of hands-on experience in South Africa and beyond make us adept at identifying and nurturing growth potential for discerning investors.
