Leadership

Vinoo Krishnan is the Founder and Executive Director of VIVAR International Advisory Group, with more than two decades of international business experience spanning international advisory, international commodity trade, cross-border commercial transactions, trade and structured finance, corporate and business development, strategic partnerships, project development, market entry, international sourcing, and market and counterparty intelligence — across the GCC, India, the UK, Singapore/Asia, and Africa.

Throughout his career, Vinoo has been involved in supporting organisations navigating international growth, market expansion, commercial partnerships, corporate structuring, and cross-border opportunities. His experience spans multiple industries and jurisdictions, providing him with a practical understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by businesses operating across international markets.

At VIVAR, he is responsible for the firm's strategic direction, client engagement, and relationship development activities, while overseeing the delivery of advisory, intelligence, and commercial support services across the Group's areas of focus.

Vinoo's professional approach is grounded in discretion, long-term relationship building, and a commitment to helping clients make informed decisions in increasingly complex international environments. Under his leadership, VIVAR continues to develop its presence across the United Kingdom, GCC, India, Singapore, and selected African markets, supporting clients through trusted advisory relationships and practical commercial insight.

VIVAR's principal leadership is supported by an international network of specialist advisers, professional counterparties, and strategic relationships across VIVAR's operating markets. Advisers are engaged on a mandate-specific basis, under confidentiality, and within the conflict-of-interest framework set out in the group's governance standards.

In keeping with the group's discretion principle, individual relationships are named publicly only where genuine, current, and consented.
