Kartikeya Rai
Spear’s Review
Kartikeya Rai of Barclays has spent just over a decade working in private banking for clients with interests in West Africa, travelling extensively within the region and witnessing the growth in African clients’ businesses and wealth.
During these travels and working with his clients, Rai has seen industries such as technology, telecoms, agriculture, fintech and oil and gas make the shift from being locally to globally focused. This development excites him and creates a strong client base who seek his advice on growing, maintaining and ultimately passing on their wealth.
‘[My clients] are becoming global players and demanding more,’ he says. ‘I aim to be with them every step of the way, helping them make decisions which fulfil their ambitions and affect not just them, but future generations.’
