Our Investment Team

Horizon Equity Partners is managed by some of the most experienced private equity professionals in South Africa. Our executive directors each have more than 15 years of formal private equity experience, and have taken companies from start-up through to listings on formal stock exchanges, both locally and internationally.

Although corporate finance skills form an important part of what we can offer, we are also able to draw on our operational backgrounds in marketing, strategy, consulting, accounting and technology management in order to offer a holistic range of business advice to the companies in which we invest.
