Current social VC investment manager seeking work in Doha

Introducing myself to the WSO. Long-time reader, first-time poster.

After a couple of years at the big M (McK), I decided to give meaning to my life while keeping it interesting for me. So, I am now running a small-cap fund investment fund within a social VC umbrella organisation. Fantastic work, completely fulfilling, and the right blend of finance and strategy to keep me interested indefinitely. (A common problem for the Gen-X'ers among us)

I am now looking to move to Doha over the next 6 months, in order to live with my current-fiancee and soon-to-be wife. She works in Dubai and her family are based in Doha. She is a lawyer, so it's tougher for her to move than it is for me, but she is able to move to Doha far more easily than to the US or Canada or South Africa (where I am currently based). I wouldn't mind making the move to Doha either as long as we both can continue working and save towards starting our lives together on a firm footing.

Looking forward to connecting with the right types of people on WSO. In particular, those in consulting, PE/VC, and those based in the Middle East.

Ciao,
Ash
