Khaoula Ramdi leads Atlas Capital Private Equity into new ventures
Khaoula Ramdi has been appointed the head of Atlas Capital Private Equity, the newly established private equity division of Atlas Capital Group. Following her tenure at Upline Investments, a subsidiary of Banque Populaire, Ramdi brings her extensive expertise to guide this strategic entity, which aims to raise 1 billion dirhams in its inaugural funding campaign.
Atlas Capital, an independent investment bank led by Hicham Chebihi Hassani and chaired since June 2023 by Rachid Marrakchi, former head of BMCI, is solidifying its foothold in the private equity market. This new subsidiary is currently awaiting approval from the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) and will specialize in managing Collective Investment Organizations in Capital (OPCC).
Private equity is increasingly recognized as a catalyst for growth among Moroccan businesses. By investing in unlisted companies, often in phases of growth or restructuring, Atlas Capital Private Equity aims to invigorate the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. The launch of its first fund, Atlas Capital Fund I, will be overseen by independent committees to ensure transparent and effective governance.
With over 22 years of experience in the financial sector, Khaoula Ramdi has previously structured two OPCCs totaling 2 billion dirhams during her time at Upline Investments. Her career also includes management roles at Almamed and Capital Invest in Morocco, alongside collaborations with impact investors such as Sarona in Canada and Investisseurs & Partenaires in France. She holds degrees from Paris-Dauphine University and ISCAE, as well as a French Expert Accounting Diploma.
By placing an experienced specialist at the helm of its new structure, Atlas Capital Private Equity seeks to play a pivotal role in financing Moroccan businesses and facilitating their access to growth-compatible capital. This initiative aims to bridge the equity financing gap faced by numerous SMEs and startups in Morocco, offering tailored solutions to support their expansion.
Atlas Capital's entry into the private equity market could redefine industry standards in Morocco, focusing on strategic support and value creation for invested companies. With a clear objective of structuring and professionalizing the market, the subsidiary aspires to become a key player in national and regional private equity.
