Evans has a unique mix of skills and experience in various disciplines, including law which he practiced, studied and taught at the highest levels (in the United Kingdom and abroad). Finance, in which he has worked and excelled in over the last decade. Politics, where he has advised ministers and governments officials around the world and the NGO sector in which he has informally worked in quietly for years to give back to communities around the world.

He is a business leader, teacher, visionary, coach, advisor, investment leader and proven thought leader.

Evans’s nature and personality can be likened to a builder. He loves to create order out of chaos, bringing hope to dark places, doing the impossible and rebuilding regions desolated by generational neglect. 


This is why he loves emerging markets (where he has worked in for the last ten years) because he is motivated by what these markets can become; he is motivated by their potential and possibilities. 

He believes that any nation and region can be transformed by changing its thinking and how it sees itself.

One of the books that had a transformative effect on his life is the book ‘From Third World to First: The Singapore Story 1965-2000’ by its founding father Lee Kuan Yew.

This book transformed Evans's mind, as it showed him that it was possible for a so called third world country, even with no natural resources, to ascend to first world status in less than half a century.

In this book and in others about Lee Kwan Yew, Evans learnt principles of accelerated national development, that has formed the basis of his discourses and work with various governments.

In addition to the foregoing, Evans also sees geopolitics as a huge driver of national transformation and thus investment growth for investors. He says, that in order for nations to prosper, they must be correctly positioned, because positioning is everything.

He is also fascinated by the transformative power of finance and entrepreneurship.

These beliefs has informed his investment approach; he does not invest in new shiny products that can suddenly generate large wins, but has huge volatility. His approach is patient, methodical and granular.

He starts with an investment theme, then invests in the ecosystem around the theme; often times, that theme is neglected by mainstream investors.

He likes to focus on cash flow rather than growth, because as he says: ''one cannot reinvest growth''. His investment hero is Dr. Henry Singleton who was the founder and CEO of Teledyne Technologies Inc (Teledyne).

This is his investment hero because Dr. Singleton knew how to allocate capital correctly, which in Evans's opinion is the greatest skill an investor and/or CEO can possess.


Evans is the CEO of Evago Global Capital and its sector holding companies including Fooderus Group Holdings, which is a global Food Supply Chain investment holding company. Apart from his existing businesses, over the years he has managed several other businesses in different sectors. Through EGC, he has been involved in raising capital, structuring, advising more than a hundred companies around the world.

For several years now, he has also been training investors on how to build, develop and manage their investments. Evans also does advisory work for governments around the world on various economic and financial challenges.

Our focus is impact. We are always looking for linkages where our key theme can link to broader themes that is driving societal changes.

We invest private equity into companies to develop them further, by adding value through operational excellence and eventually either hold for the long term, or sell to realize profit.

''Over the years, I have gained very rich experience, knowledge and wisdom, which I have decided to share not only with our existing clients, but I am also opening my doors for new investors and entrepreneurs to come on board to learn from me, my team and our public and private sector partners. I believe that we will have much fun together.''
