PRIVATE EQUITY PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR HONOREE
TREVOR SALIBA
Chairman; CEO
NMS Capital Group LLC
Led by Trevor Saliba, NMS Capital Group has experienced a dynamic and expansion- focused year in 2024, particularly in its cross-border investment activities. The firm significantly strengthened its European presence by increasing its equity stake in a Swiss-based holding company that operates across the insurance, energy and financial services sectors. This move involved an additional capital injection of $300 million, bringing the company’s valuation to approximately $2.5 billion. Furthermore, NMS entered into a strategic joint venture with a prominent Turkish industrial conglomerate to establish a specialized metals manufacturing group in Turkey. This new entity, valued at over $150 million, will serve both European and North American markets. Saliba is personally overseeing the post-close integration process of this venture. Domestically, NMS led a $50 million investment to launch a specialty collateral reinsurance company focused on quota share arrangements in the US. Additionally, the firm deployed around $650 million into multiple digital infrastructure projects across the United States. Saliba led both transaction teams, managing due diligence, negotiations and deal execution. Saliba has established a distinguished track record as a global dealmaker, having led and concluded transactions worth billions of dollars across the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. His investment philosophy is rooted in a disciplined approach to value creation – identifying strategic opportunities, structuring transactions to minimize downside risk, and maximizing returns through the deployment of highly efficient capital structures. Over the past 15 years, Saliba has successfully transformed the Saliba Family Office from a traditional family-managed entity into a highly respected private equity investment firm.
