Iyobosa Sorae
Managing Partner
About
I am a Strategic Business and Finance Leader with expertise in long-term business vision implementation, commercial development and planning, ethical finance strategy, and team leadership. I have over 16 years of experience in business planning across multiple sectors, revenue-boosting solutions, and ethical and impact investing.
Currently, I am the Managing Partner at Opes Venit Family Office. Here I work at the intersection of philanthropic endeavours and ethical investments where my background and interests as a social finance strategist and business leader helps me identify investment strategies and diversify assets across profitable multi-sectoral businesses that bring about social change. My drive is to create continuous value within communities by aligning investment objectives with sustainable practices, social equity, and philanthropic values across various sectors ranging from education, entrepreneurial and vocational development, hospitality, real-estate development.
An example of such investments is the Pershing Hills Elementary School, established in 2019, which adopts the Montessori method, fostering adaptable learning environments geared towards personalized skill development and holistic child growth. I also oversee retail real-estate investments, strategically acquiring premium locations for their commercial viability and revenue-generating potential. Furthermore, we also have investments in the hospitality sector where we are focused on providing high quality luxury home and hospitality essentials through investments in local markets. In addition to our profit driven investments we are deeply passionate about giveback initiatives which stimulate the local economy.
Prior to my current role, I was the Head of the Global Wealth and Treasury department at Coronation Merchant Bank, Africa's Premier Investment Bank, where I crafted robust strategies for sustainable financial profitability, fortifying the bank's market position by moving the bank from 23rd to the top 7 in the FMDQ League Table within 3 years. Here I was focused on developing, leading and nurturing high-performing teams, having spearheaded the reestablishment of the treasury department which doubled the balance sheet in 2018. In this role I also executed the 1st multi-million FX transaction to facilitate international funding access, secured 7 major international brokers as offshore counterparties within 5 years and received the award for best Leader in the Bank in 2021.
I have an MBA from Imperial College Business School and an MSc in Finance from IE Business School.
