Charles Omanga

On Episode 69 of The AfriCAN Do! Podcast, host Leonard Mudachi sits down with Charles Omanga, CEO and Co-founder of Horizon Africa Capital Ltd, the boutique M&A and capital raising firm based in Nairobi, Kenya.

Charles co-founded Horizon Africa Capital in January 2010, after a corporate and investment banking career spanning over 25 years at institutions including Citi, Barclays Bank of Kenya and CFC Stanbic Bank. Horizon was the first African partner of Global M&A, covering seven sub-Saharan countries, and has grown into one of East Africa's top-ranked advisory firms, having executed equity transactions in excess of USD 400 million and debt transactions in excess of USD 1 billion across the region.

Bold, innovative and dynamic, Horizon Africa advises across mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and advisory services: from deal strategy, transaction structuring and capital raising to due diligence, valuation and post-transaction support. Charles has personally led and closed complex acquisitions, capital raisings and mergers in financial services, healthcare, energy and manufacturing, and is regularly called upon by large private firms and NSE-listed companies to independently lead the thinking on their expansion and financial plans.
