Kiyan Zandiyeh
Chief Executive Officer at Sturgeon Capital Ltd.
Profile
Kiyan’s journey to leading a venture firm is as impressive as it is atypical.
Kiyan began formally investing in his late teens when he launched a strategy investing in global equities (for individuals in his network) that ultimately grew to $20m, compounding capital at >40% per year between 2007-2012.
Born in the UK to Iranian parents, his regular travel to Iran opened his eyes to the transformative business opportunities in emerging markets.
As a result, he went to work with the famous (arguably infamous) economist Nouriel Roubini leading economic research and investment strategy in emerging and frontier markets.
During this time, Kiyan witnessed the changing technology infrastructure landscape in emerging and frontier markets – and the multi-decade opportunity it represented.
