Private equity firm Adenia Partners has announced two significant leadership promotions as part of its ongoing strategy to deepen expertise and strengthen its pan-African investment capabilities.
Florent de Boissieu Appointed Chief Investment Officer
Florent de Boissieu, a veteran of the firm, has been promoted to the role of Chief Investment Officer (CIO). With over 14 years at Adenia, de Boissieu has played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s investment strategy and regional presence. He has led Adenia’s operations in Ghana, Madagascar, and South Africa, overseeing a diverse portfolio of investments across sectors such as financial services, manufacturing, agribusiness, and consumer goods.
In his new role as CIO, de Boissieu will take on a pan-African mandate, working closely with the firm’s partners to evaluate new investment opportunities, lead due diligence processes, and guide strategic decision-making at the investment committee level. He will also continue to serve on the boards of several portfolio companies, helping to drive value creation and operational excellence.
Mack Schow Promoted to Partner
Also rising within the firm is Mack Schow, who has been promoted to Partner. Schow joined Adenia in 2023 as Head of Investor Relations, bringing with him a wealth of experience in investor engagement and fund governance. Since then, he has led initiatives that have enhanced transparency, reporting, and communication across Adenia’s funds, while also playing a key role in people management and strategic planning.
In his new capacity as Partner, Schow will continue to lead investor relations while also contributing to broader strategic initiatives that align with Adenia’s long-term vision for growth and impact across the continent.
“Since joining as head of investor relations in 2023, Mack has brought valuable insight and energy to our engagement with investors,” the firm said in a statement. “As partner, he will continue to lead strategic initiatives that support the firm’s long-term vision.”
These promotions reflect Adenia’s commitment to nurturing internal talent and reinforcing its leadership bench as it continues to expand its footprint and impact across Africa.
