GreenWorld Capital has appointed Usman Haque as director, European, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) to support the firm’s growing efforts throughout the region.
Haque will be based in London, England.
Haque says: "I am very excited to be joining such a creative and progressive firm as GreenWorld. My access to investment and acquisition opportunities across EMEA is extremely well-matched with GreenWorld’s network of capital sources in the US and China. I also look forward to introducing my network of capital sources across EMEA to GreenWorld’s array of acquisition and investment opportunities in various regions in these important and growing sectors."
Haque joins GreenWorld from Morgan Stanley London’s office, where he was a vice president in the EMEA M&A advisory team. At Morgan Stanley, Haque advised corporations and private equity firms on high profile, strategic transactions whose aggregate deal volume exceeded USD10bn. He has advised on sell-side/buy-side M&A, leveraged buyout and special situation mandates across a variety of sectors including natural resources, industrial, technology and real estate/hospitality.
Prior to Morgan Stanley, Haque worked at Citigroup and at Watson Wyatt (Towers Watson).
"Usman has extensive cross-border experience with significant knowledge of local markets, investors, and companies in EMEA," says David Elkin, founder and managing director of GreenWorld Capital. "Usman significantly expands our direct access to capital sources as well as transactions in the EMEA region. We are thrilled to have him on board, and excited about the prospect of serving our clients via an expanded global platform."
