Team
Sayed
I am the founder of Lotus Capital and currently based in London, UK.
I have 10 years of experience working in management consulting at Bain & Company, private equity at Advent International and One Peak Partners, and founding a business in the renewable and waste management space. Over the past 10 years, I have advised and invested in various sectors, including industrials, aerospace, distribution, and technology in the US, Europe, and, most notably, the UK.
My proudest projects include the growth and sale of pan-European conveyer belt manufacturer, Ammeraal Beltech, creating pan-European Industrial distributor, Rubix through the merger of Brammer and IPH, and the successful transition of active pharmaceutical ingredient, ICE, after 70 years of family ownership.
I started Lotus Capital as I believe in the outstanding potential of small, family businesses, especially when combined with a long-term investment horizon. I am inspired by my own family’s entrepreneurial spirit, starting with my grandfather who started a dairy business that later became a household brand.
I hold a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School as well as a Masters in Industrial & Operations Engineering and a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
