Here is a snap shot of why we wanted Darko to join and add more value to our clients and partners both in the Middle East and further afield in markets like UK:
"Darko serves as a non-executive board member for several emerging technology companies in both the UK and UAE. Over his career, he has successfully led high-profile business exits, including the sale of Temando to Neopost in 2015 (100mTEV), Attco Global Services to Tech Data in 2017 (50m TEV), and Showpony Ltd to the Kevin Murphy Group in 2021 (33m TEV). Darko is also the co-founder of True
Altitude, a boutique investment bank that specialised in supporting B2B technology companies which has since merged with a Abu Dhabi merchant bank Al Liwan Group and is no longer on the board.
Throughout his career, Darko has personally completed 41 investments, while his advisory teams have played a role in the growth of over 130 fast-growing businesses across multiple regions, including the UK, EU, GCC, US, and APJ. Historically
Darko’s collaborative advisory has syndicated approximately $300M USD in equity investments and M&A, secured $110M in asset-based financing, and facilitated over £1Bn in debt financing, with a focus primarily on the B2B technology sector.
Darko is particularly skilled in forging strategic partnerships between well-established businesses and innovative, emerging technology firms. His passion lies in helping these businesses future-proof their core propositions through the integration of cutting-edge technologies and solutions."
His deep industry knowledge and strong global network make him a sought-after leader in the world of tech investment and business growth which perfectly aligns with Mingzulu's growth plans and our own client portfolio needs.
Welcome to the team Darko.
