In a region defined by transformation and ambition, investment professionals sit at the heart of economic progress. Whether deploying institutional capital or accelerating private growth, the right individuals drive strategic decision-making, unlock new markets, and steward capital with precision.
From sovereign wealth funds and family offices to private equity and venture capital platforms, the Middle East’s investment landscape is evolving rapidly. At Carter Knight, we understand what excellence looks like in this space - from origination to execution, portfolio value creation to exit strategy. Our network spans global markets and is built on direct relationships with high-impact investors and operators.
Private Equity
Driving growth through discipline and value creation.
We work with private equity entities across buyouts, growth equity, and special situations. The best investment professionals in this space bring rigorous analytical ability, a sharp commercial instinct, and the interpersonal skill to manage founders, boards, and advisors. Whether sourcing deals, leading diligence, or building value post-close, these individuals shape outcomes at every stage of the investment lifecycle.
Venture Capital
Backing innovation with conviction.
Venture capital in the Middle East is on the rise, with increasing capital deployment across tech, fintech, health, and climate verticals. We support VC firms seeking analysts, associates, and partners with strong thematic understanding, founder empathy, and cross-border investment exposure. Our candidates combine sector fluency with a deep sense for market timing and scalability.
Sovereign & Government Funds
Investing at national scale.
Sovereign wealth funds and government-backed investors play a pivotal role in shaping the region’s economic agenda. We work with investment teams focused on direct investments, global partnerships, and strategic sector allocation - from infrastructure and renewables to tech and advanced manufacturing. These roles require professionals with geopolitical awareness, institutional excellence, and the ability to align investment with policy-level objectives.
Portfolio Value Creation
Turning capital into performance.
Beyond capital deployment, we help funds build value creation teams that partner with portfolio companies to accelerate growth. From strategy leads and operating partners to transformation and digital specialists, these professionals drive post-deal impact. Their work spans commercial due diligence, operational optimisation, digital maturity, and international expansion.
