Our Leadership

Muhammed Adam​
Founder  |  Managing Director
B.Bus.Sci, Finance (UCT) ; LL.B (UCT)
Attorney of the High Court of South Africa

Muhammed holds a Bachelor of Business Science, Finance (with honours) and an LL.B (cum laude), having read for both at the University of Cape Town.

Shortly after completing his B.Bus.Sci, Muhammed started his career as an investment banker with global investment bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, based in Johannesburg. He was engaged in providing advice across the corporate finance spectrum of M&A, ECM, valuations, and in the private equity space. Muhammed then joined another bulge-bracket global investment bank, UBS AG, where continued to build his expertise as an investment banker.

He then left investment banking to pursue a full-time law degree at UCT, and thereafter joined Africa’s pre-eminent large corporate law firm, Bowmans. Whilst at Bowmans, he spent time building and honing his corporate and M&A legal skills under the guidance of some of the best M&A partners globally.

Having attained his legal skills, Muhammed then left Bowmans to join a local investment bank for a short period, before realising that he could best serve clients by offering a full-service suite utilising both the corporate finance and corporate law skill sets – the result of this realisation being Masico Advisory.
