Amardeep’s career spans from retail banking to the demanding world of corporate and investment banking. He brings a wealth of financial knowledge and expertise that sets him apart from others. This exposure to different facets of finance fuelled his desire to create something new, something that addressed the diverse needs of a global clientele. This vision led to the birth of Greenback Capital Limited. With an expansive background in international finance, Amardeep took on the CEO’s role at Greenback Capital, where his leadership has played a crucial role in driving the firm’s success.
Headquartered in the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Greenback Capital is more than just another financial advisory firm. Established as a CAT 3C firm in the DIFC, Greenback Capital offers tailored solutions to a diverse clientele. With a team of award-winning, globally qualified senior bankers and financial advisors, the organisation is making waves in the final services domain through its unbiased, transparent, and client-centric approach.
As the chief of the company, Amardeep oversees a broad spectrum of financial services, including Equity Asset Management (EAM), Equity Capital Markets (ECM), Debt Capital Markets (DCM), Structured Products, Financial Advisory, Corporate Finance, Investment Banking, and Capital Raising. His profound knowledge about the financial markets and his own perspective is what makes him uniquely qualified to tackle the intricacies of these varied sectors, besides making Greenback Capital a top financial advisory firm in the UAE.
A CLIENT-CENTRIC APPROACH
From high-net-worth individuals to corporate enterprises and startups, Greenback has grown alongside its clients. Over the past four years, the firm has experienced a remarkable CAGR of 50%, which reflects its effective investment strategies.
Greenback Capital isn’t swayed by the emotional ups and downs of the market. No matter how bullish or bearish the market may be, its team of experts provides clients with a pragmatic approach to balanced investing. As Amardeep puts it, “We’re not driven by emotions in the equity segment; our decisions are based solely on market dynamics.”
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
For Amardeep, effective leadership requires a broader perspective than solely focusing on financial growth. It is about leading by example and creating an environment where every team member feels valued. Like a true leader, he promotes a culture of innovation and continuous learning to stay ahead of the curve. The empathetic leader also believes in empowering his team to innovate and think outside the box to keep pace with the ever evolving financial world. He also believes in creating a work environment where everyone feels they can contribute and their ideas are valued. It is this cool mix of being empathetic and seeing the bigger picture that makes him such a great leader.
What further distinguishes Amardeep is his commitment to gender diversity within his workforce. Greenback Capital doesn’t just talk about equality—it lives it. With a workforce dominated by “women warriors,” the company reflects the leader’s belief that diverse teams bring unique perspectives that help drive creativity and innovation. The leader’s balanced approach is not limited to investment strategies; it extends to every aspect of the firm’s operations, thus making it a progressive and inclusive workplace. Furthermore, being a seasoned expert, he possesses a deep understanding of the intricate regulatory framework governing the financial services sector. This expertise enables him to build a global clientele while preserving the firm’s unique boutique character.
Amardeep draws inspiration from global leaders who have dared to be different and have revolutionised industries through innovation and resilience. He channels his lifelong passion for financial markets into creating meaningful impacts in his clients’ lives. He firmly believes that true leadership lies in empowering others to thrive.
DRIVEN BY GOALS
Amardeep’s leadership at Greenback Capital reflects his forward-thinking mindset and his dedication to innovation and excellence in finance. Looking ahead, he has big plans for Greenback Capital. In the long run, he aspires to transform his company into a global leader in financial advisory, known for its ability to provide customised and sustainable wealth management solutions to a diverse clientele. He wants to expand the company’s reach across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, all while using the latest technologies to make money management easier than ever. Over the next two years, the leader plans to strengthen his company’s global presence by setting up offices in London and Singapore. His other short-term goals are to develop AI and blockchain initiatives to deliver secure and efficient services to clients.
A SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPION
Amardeep’s approach to sustainability focuses on instilling Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into Greenback Capital’s advisory services. Under his leadership, Greenback Capital has made significant strides in sustainability.
To further reduce its environmental footprint, Greenback Capital, under Amardeep’s stewardship, has implemented initiatives such as promoting vegetarian diets, encouraging walking and cycling for commuting, and transitioning to paperless office operations.
GLORIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS
For Amardeep, the most significant milestone in his career wasn’t a high-profile promotion or a substantial financial reward. It was witnessing Greenback Capital’s remarkable victory at the 2022 Middle East Wealth Tech Awards – a prestigious accolade in the financial sector. This accomplishment wasn’t achieved through shortcuts but through steadfast dedication to client satisfaction, an unremitting pursuit of innovation, and a well defined roadmap for steady growth.
