Richard Szuflak, Head of Business Development Asia-Pacific, DP World.

As former Group Director of Finance and Investments of Gulftainer I worked closely with Richard Blair, then Group General Counsel, on Port investment projects in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, USA, Russia, Scandinavia, South East Asia and East Africa. All projects had complex contract issues and required tactful stakeholder engagement and I have no hesitation in recommending Richard to deliver best in class legal support to any international private equity project where his commercial acumen and skill will help any investment leader recognise opportunity and solutions alike and mitigate the risk proportionately..
