Clarity

Well, Fin Crisis is coming home to roost.

My Titanic Masters told me I have until mid-08 to triple our figures or they're shutting down their attempt to penetrate these markets. Retrenchement.

While I rather regard my home office as fundamentally uncompetitive in this market, the challenge of trying (and affirming my achievements as newly appointed regional director) does concentrate the mind.

Make a run for it, and if they play ABN AMRO, well, it was fun and move on.

If I understand your job right as a VC in MENA, correct me if this is stupid, but to my knowledge investments in emerging markets or VC are usually very long term (not to mention VC *and* emerging markets). How do they expect you to triple your figures in such a short time frame?

Part of my job covers VC (and my previous function was pure VC), but the essential of what I do under my current job is managing the financial advisory business.

A longer term view of course would be more successful.
