Candidate profile: 15-20+ years of pure private equity (or growth equity with PE discipline) across origination, execution, value creation and exits, with a track record of leading transactions as principal deal lead, board service, and realised exits. Infrastructure experience strongly preferred; Africa highly valued. Expert-level valuation, LBO/growth modelling, structuring, and transaction documentation skills. Bachelor's Degree (Finance, Economics, Engineering or equivalent); MBA, MSc, CFA a plus. Fluent English; French a strong advantage.
