Transition to project finance (PF)

I hope this demand finds you well. I am reaching out to seek your guidance and mentorship regarding my career transition. With five years of experience in project financing within a public institution in Africa, I have been primarily responsible for orchestrating financing arrangements and managing relationships with our funding partners (world bank, africain bank of dev, Europeen bank of inves …)

While my tenure in the project financing department focused more on corporate-oriented financing rather than dedicated SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles) and intricate financial modeling, I have developed a keen interest in delving deeper into project financing encompassing all its facets.

Given your expertise in this field, I am eager to seek your advice on the steps to navigate this transition effectively. I would greatly appreciate insights on refining my skill set to align with the demands of project financing, including any recommended courses, resources, or networking opportunities that you believe would be beneficial.

Your mentorship in this regard would be invaluable to me as I embark on this new trajectory in my career. I am available at your earliest convenience for a discussion or meeting to further elaborate on my aspirations and explore potential pathways forward.
