Rami Cassis, Founder & CEO, Parabellum Investments

Author: TheIndustry.fashion December 12, 2022 Duration: 34:22

Rami Cassis is an international dealmaker, investor, and operator. He leads Parabellum Investments, the family office he founded, which trades as a private equity firm. Cassis acquired Manchester luxury fashion retailer Hervia in May 2022 and intends to use Hervia as the foundation to form a new British fashion group.

He speaks to Lauretta Roberts, Editor-in-Chief of TheIndustry.fashion, about his career to date as an investor, the reason why he acquired Hervia and wants to work with British designers, why he invests in businesses with a long-term strategy, and why fashion is sometimes unfashionable for private equity investors.
