Giving businesses a new lease of life is at the heart of what we do. Along the way, I enjoy simplifying complex issues and making ideas happen. I believe these are key ingredients for success, alongside hard work and tenacity.

Albert has more than 20 years’ experience in private equity, restructuring and M&A, developed primarily at Allegro Funds, Australia’s leading transformational private equity firm, and more recently at London based turnaround investment firm Agathos.

With deep board level experience in business transformation and cultural improvement, Albert has led investments in sectors including leisure, business services, industrials and healthcare.

What I love about what we do is the journey we embark on when we make a new investment, and the deep relationships we form with the portfolio company teams along the way. In the investments we make, the journey is rarely linear but that is what keeps it exciting!
