TLG Capital, an ethical investor in frontier markets, has expanded its team with the hire of Jamel Larbi from Merrill Lynch and Shaheryar Mian from Hewitt Associates.
Prior to joining TLG Capital, Larbi focused on emerging markets deals at Merrill Lynch in London. He worked on transactions across corporates, financial institutions and sovereigns clients in the MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe.
Mian joins from Hewitt Associates where he performed investment analysis and performance reviews across major asset classes. Previously he was at Lloyds TSB Bank, London and New York, where he managed cross-border relationships with investment banks and insurance companies.
Both Larbi and Mian will report directly to Zain Latif, principal of TLG Capital.
Latif said, "Jamel brings capital market experience to TLG Capital, and this will complement our business as we seek to build on our initial successes. Shaheryar’s expertise in risk management, analysis and investments is invaluable to us. Strict internal risk standards and managing our assets effectively is a priority for TLG Capital and as we project further growth, it has prompted us to seek additional resources to ensure that we maintain the highest standard. I am delighted to have both Shaheryar and Jamel onboard."
TLG Capital was set up in 2009 by Latif and made its first investment in August, in a joint venture between Quality Chemicals Uganda and Cipla India. Quality Chemicals and Cipla teamed up to launch QCIL, which is touted as the first pharmaceutical company to manufacture antiretroviral and anti-malarial drugs in Africa.
