As of 1 July 2025, Peter Maila, our Co-Chief Investment Officer, will continue his career at Zvilo, a supply chain finance company headquartered in London. Peter was an early investor in the company and will now lead Zvilo’s expansion into the African market as CEO Africa. Peter will conclude his work at FMO at the end of June.
Peter: “Although I know I will deeply miss my work and colleagues at FMO, within Zvilo, there is an urgent need to strengthen its management now that the company is growing rapidly. Additionally, it gives me the opportunity to focus my attention fully on Africa again. I am very grateful for my time at FMO, and I have sincerely appreciated the interaction with the Supervisory Board, the collaboration with my fellow Management Board members, and the dedication of all my colleagues at FMO.”
Dirk Jan van den Berg, Chair of FMO’s Supervisory Board, expressed: “While we will miss Peter's expertise, energy, and passion for private equity at FMO and value his role on the Management Board, we respect his decision and wish him every success in his new position at Zvilo.”
Huib-Jan de Ruijter, FMO’s Co-Chief Investment Officer, will temporarily take over Peter’s responsibilities.
