Background

About Adam Collins

I thrive at the intersection of macroeconomics, public policy, and investment strategy — where big-picture thinking meets practical execution. Over the past decade, I’ve held roles across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, delivering globally informed insights to complex challenges. I began my career as an Emerging Markets Economist in the UK, before transitioning into a senior corporate role at a multinational apparel manufacturer. Highlights include leading a record 5.4x oversubscribed IPO, spearheading the company’s expansion into Egypt, and securing USD 40 million in DFI financing. These milestones reflect my commitment to driving sustainable growth in emerging markets. Earlier in my journey, I served as an ODI Fellow within Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supporting economic diplomacy, trade policy, and foreign investment promotion. From drafting policy briefs and speeches for senior officials to producing in-depth research on special economic zones, I contributed to reform agendas and regional engagement. Whether navigating cross-border acquisitions or advising leadership on international expansion, I’ve learned that collaboration and clarity are essential. I’ve led high-performing teams and delivered market intelligence across Sri Lanka, Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the UK — balancing local nuance with global foresight.
