Wissam Mansour and Thomas Felix Baden, Neventa Capital

Neventa Capital's Wissam Mansour and Thomas Felix Baden join Alexandra Daly, CEO of AA Advisors, to discuss growth equity investing and the digital technology space amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Guillem Segarra, CEO at HappyFresh, one of Neventa's portfolio companies, joins the conversation towards the end to provide some great insights into their operations amid COVID-19. Prior to setting up Neventa, Wissam Mansour co-founded MIG Bank in 2005, one of Switzerland's leading online banks, which he exited to Swissquote in 2013, after reaching 85bn CHF in monthly trading volumes and 65,000 daily transactions with 200 employees across Lausanne, Zurich, London and Hong Kong.  Thomas has more than 20 years of global experience in Growth Capital, Private Equity and M&A. Before joining Neventa Capital, he was Acting CEO of United Capital Management, an emerging markets Investment and Fund Management firm, and an Executive Director of Sailing Capital in Hong Kong, the first multi-billion Dollar Chinese Private Equity Fund with an overseas investment remit. Thomas was also head of the Direct Investment department of an International Family Office based in Geneva and Hong Kong, as well as the Private Equity department of a Middle Eastern based investment firm. Drawing on their combined experience as GPs, LPs and operators, Wissam and Thomas discuss the challenges and opportunities their portfolio companies face, as well as what they are seeing of interest across the digital technology space. 

Om Podcasten

In light of fast-evolving and uncertain economic times, at AA Advisors we have been considering how to stay connected with our worldwide network of GPs and LPs, many of whom are keen for information, but are isolating due to Covid-19. In response, we are creating a podcast series profiling GPs and providing them with a platform to share their unique insights into the current macroeconomic climate and the opportunities that the alternatives space can offer.
