Wyn River founder Nigel Davies has won a competitive bid from the African Development Bank to act as a consultant to their newly formed Special Operations Unit. The Special Operations Unit manages non-performing loans and equity investments across the AfDB's Non-Sovereign portfolio, which is mostly in the private sector.
Nigel has relocated to AfDB's head office in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, from where he will support the Bank's restructuring and recovery efforts across the continent. Africa offers significant growth investment opportunities but is currently exposed to a downturn in both commodity/natural resource prices and associated local currency devaluations.
While the AfDB portfolio will require Nigel's full attention, the rest of Wyn River's associates and network resources remain available in advisory and interim executive roles to address the corporate finance, project finance and restructuring needs of our clients.
