Stefano Marani

Mr Marani was part of the team which acquired the Gas Fields from Molopo Energy Limited in April 2013 and was instrumental in taking the Gas Fields from a stranded gas asset into production with funding from the US government and an Initial Public Offering on the Australian Securities Exchange. Along with Nick Mitchell, they pioneered the use of natural gas in heavy-duty vehicles in South Africa to help decarbonise the South African economy, and he pioneered Cryo Vacc to assist in the global rollout of vaccines in the fight against COVID-19. Stefano has experience in the areas of structured finance and advisory. After completing his formative training with Deutsche Bank, Stefano was recruited by Morgan Stanley in London. He was ultimately charged with building their sub-Saharan African fixed income capital markets business before leaving banking to start his financial services firm.
