Badwa Capital is excited to welcome Ahmad Ismail as Head of Capital Solutions, a key practice within the firm’s expanding investment banking division. Badwa, which has closed more than $9 billion in transactions across a variety of sectors, also announced it has obtained a CMA license and opened a new Riyadh office.

We mark our 14th anniversary at a time of generation-defining tailwinds arising from reforms that have had remarkable results in our region, including on equity capital markets.

The investment, which was made by Badwa Growth Opportunities Fund in 2022, supported eyewa in becoming the largest and fastest-growing eyewear retailer in the Middle East.
