Treena brings considerable experience in investor relations and business development to the Moravia team. She started her career in 1997 with Greenoak Capital Management - one of the earliest Private Equity fund of funds. In 2000, Treena moved to Baring Asset Management to focus on marketing and distribution of debt and equity funds to institutional investors. However the opportunity arose to join a start up in the PE industry and in 2001, Treena became one of the founding members of AltAssets and Almeida Capital. As Associate Director she helped create the news and research platform and developed new business products for the AltAssets brand, such as specialized conferences. Her main role was to spearhead relationship development with institutional investors and manage the firm’s network of active investors for the placement and fund distribution activities of Almeida Capital.
Building on her passion for Investor Relations, Treena joined the private equity team of Unigestion in 2006. As Head of the Client Relations team, she was responsible for fundraising and client service for Unigestions’ fund of funds and customised mandates, and enjoyed developing new products to meet investor appetite. Following a family opportunity and a desire for adventure, she relocated to Zimbabwe in 2010, becoming a Director of Albida Advisers in 2012. Albida provides business-consulting services to companies on the ground in Africa and those seeking to access the region.
