Speakers

With over 20 years of experience working with and advising SMEs, private equity firms, and founders navigating the full lifecycle of mergers, acquisitions, and investment readiness, Simo Kubheka brings a rare blend of strategic foresight, legal and compliance depth, and commercial pragmatism.

As co-founder of Avuke, a cross-border management consultancy, Simo has led and supported transactions ranging from lean SME buyouts to $500M+ acquisitions, helping businesses on both sides of the table prepare for, and succeed in, critical moments of growth, exit, or transformation.

His approach goes beyond theory: grounded in real-world deal execution, he equips founders and leadership teams to become “due diligence ready,” optimise operational maturity, and position their businesses not just for investment, but for strategic longevity.
