Our Story
GENesis Advisory was co-founded by INSEAD business school Executive MBA graduates. They possess a diverse skill set and multi-market focus. We take pride in advising our clients on local and cross-border deals.
Our motto, ‘’Enabling growth through network, strategy & deals’’ reflects our passion to achieve the best outcome for our clients through our network value proposition. We bring our powerful network to our client situations by originating business growth opportunities and transactions, providing strategic insights and advice on corporate and functional strategy, and using our extensive experience to advise on investments, transactions, and financing.
Our Purpose
We advise on the development of local companies and local assets in our focus markets.
We believe the growth of the 'global South' will converge with that of the 'global North'. We aim to create a legacy of projects that have enabled such local success. We connect capital with opportunity. Where appropriate, we invest capital into corporate projects.
Our Values
We are a trusted adviser to our clients and our stakeholders. We build this trust through originating transactions and investment opportunities and by doing what we say we will do in execution roles. We choose our clients and projects based on whether we can add real value.
We take pride in delivering on our business purpose. We believe in a bespoke and authentic approach to our clients and their business issues, and advising them on an independent basis on the most appropriate course of action.
We work in an agile manner, putting together expert teams based on the project's need. We believe that every project has a unique context and requires an adaptable set of skills and talent.
