Built around judgment and discipline.
Positioning, counterparty fit and disciplined execution shape the outcome.
Define the transaction objective
Sabaody Capital Partners advises on sell side, buy side, infrastructure and resource opportunities by first defining the objective, responsibilities and required workstreams.
Engage the right counterparties
The firm then engages the counterparties and specialist advisors best suited to the opportunity, combining transaction judgement with direct senior involvement.
Coordinate execution
Coordinated execution keeps decisions clear, responsibilities allocated and every workstream moving toward the intended outcome.
Leadership focused on transaction execution.
Sherif El Khawaga is the Founder and Managing Partner of Sabaody Capital Partners, an independent transaction advisory firm focused on AI and digital infrastructure, power and renewable energy, energy storage and critical resource infrastructure.
He operates at the intersection of project development, institutional capital and transaction execution. His experience includes originating, positioning and advancing development-stage and operating infrastructure opportunities across North America and Europe, spanning power generation, renewable energy, energy storage, digital infrastructure and related enabling infrastructure.
Sherif has worked directly with global alternative asset managers, infrastructure investors, developers, operators and strategic counterparties across institutional engagement, counterparty selection, commercial coordination and due diligence within complex infrastructure transactions.
At Sabaody, he leads engagement assessment, transaction strategy, counterparty origination and execution coordination. He remains directly involved from the initial evaluation of an opportunity and definition of transaction objectives through counterparty engagement, diligence and commercial execution.
