"Connecting serious capital with serious opportunity, across geographies where relationships and timing are everything."

Martin is a Danish investment professional with deep experience in mid-market capital origination and cross-border advisory across the GCC. Based in Dubai, he works at the intersection of international business culture and Gulf deal-making; a combination that is rare, and increasingly in demand.

With a background spanning capital raising, investment intermediation, and market entry across multiple geographies, Martin brings both the network and the judgment to navigate complex transactions, from initial mandate structuring through to close.

His work spans education, healthcare, logistics infrastructure, and cross-border capital partnerships, with a particular focus on helping both regional and international counterparties find the right deal, the right structure, and the right partners.

What I do

Capital Origination

Sourcing and structuring mid-market mandates across the GCC, covering education, healthcare, logistics, and infrastructure assets in the AED 50–200M range.

GCC Market Entry

Guiding international businesses through the strategic and operational realities of entering GCC markets, from initial positioning through to the right local partnerships.

Cross-Border Capital

Bridging GCC-based capital with international-grade investment mandates. Deep relationships across family office and institutional capital channels in the region.

MENA Representation

Trusted local presence and deal intermediary for international partners operating or expanding across the MENA region, without the overhead of a full regional office.

Who I work with

Capital seeking opportunity

GCC Family Offices

Family offices and private investment vehicles across the GCC seeking to deploy capital into well-structured, mid-market opportunities in sectors with real fundamentals: education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

If you are looking for AED 50–200M mandates that have been properly screened, structured, and presented with institutional-grade rigour. That is what I bring to the table.

Opportunity seeking capital

Companies & Asset Owners

Businesses, project sponsors, and asset owners operating in the GCC who are looking to raise capital from the right partners, not just the available ones. Particularly those in education, healthcare, logistics, and infrastructure.

International businesses looking to enter the GCC market and needing a credible local presence to navigate capital introductions and strategic partnerships are also a core part of my work.
