I work with investors and partners on opportunities in Kazakhstan — energy, metals, agriculture, infrastructure, and beyond. Capital deployment, asset sourcing, deal origination, on-the-ground management
Latvian by birth. Ten years building and operating businesses across the UK, seven years across the Netherlands — HR services, technology, logistics, real estate, engineering, industrial manufacturing, and retail. Five years working across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. And now the focus has settled entirely on Kazakhstan — sourcing, structuring, and closing deals across energy, metals, agriculture, infrastructure, and the broader industrial economy.
That background matters here. Kazakhstan is a market where the work is relationship-driven, decisions are made in person, and the difference between a deal that closes and one that doesn't is rarely about the numbers. It is about understanding how people think, what they actually want, and finding the right person on the other side. Twenty years across industries, cultures, and markets build a particular kind of judgment — and a network that spans business, government, and every level in between. That reputation, and those relationships, are what make things move.
It typically starts with a conversation about what you are trying to achieve. From there, if there is a fit, execution moves at the required pace. What stays consistent is the access, the clarity about what is realistic, and the involvement from the first conversation through to close.
The work varies — deal origination, on-the-ground management, asset sourcing, or simply finding the right return in a market worth being in. No fixed model. The engagement is shaped by what the situation actually needs.

The challenge for foreign investors is not opportunity — it is access. Business culture varies significantly across regions. Relationships precede transactions. The gap between what is visible from abroad and what is actually happening on the ground is substantial.
