Zoha Ayaz

M&A Executive specializing in deal origination, strategic outreach, and transaction support. I focus on identifying high-value acquisition targets, building relationships with key decision makers, and driving successful M&A outcomes for clients. Passionate about uncovering strategic opportunities through market research and connecting buyers and sellers in ways that create lasting business value. Skilled at managing deal pipelines, conducting financial analysis, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless execution from initial outreach through closing. Outside of advisory work, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship, climate innovation, and sustainability. I've walked this path firsthand, working as a Founder Associate at Mint Rewards, a recycling initiative startup, and co-founding Climita, a climate finance and carbon trading platform, where I served as Chief Commercial Officer. These ventures gave me deep insight into building sustainable businesses and the unique challenges climate-focused startups face. I remain actively engaged in these spaces, following emerging trends and seeking opportunities to support ventures that make a real environmental and social impact.
