Independent
We earn fees for advice and nothing else — aligned only to your interests
Necker Strategy is an independent advisory firm based in Mauritius and working internationally. We stand beside entrepreneurs, business owners and families at their most important moments — shaping strategy, executing transactions, and helping preserve the wealth they create, alongside trusted partners.
Entrepreneurs, business owners and families face their most consequential decisions only a handful of times — a sale, an acquisition, a fundraising, the passing of a business to the next generation. These moments call for advice that is genuinely independent and given with conviction.
Necker Strategy was founded to provide exactly that. From our base in Mauritius — a stable, well-regulated international financial centre — we work with clients internationally, bringing the rigour of global finance and the attention of a senior, partner-led team to every mandate. We are independent by design: we sell no products and answer to no balance sheet. Our only interest is the quality of our advice and the outcomes our clients achieve.
We accompany our clients across the full cycle of value creation — shaping the strategy that builds value, executing the transactions that realise it, and, alongside trusted partners, helping preserve and pass on the wealth it creates.
We help you define and execute the strategy that creates value — growth, operational performance and sound governance — drawing on deep experience and an international network.
When the moment comes, we advise on the transactions that realise value — mergers, acquisitions, fundraising and sell-side processes — with institutional discipline.
We build relationships that last. Beyond a single mandate, we help clients protect and pass on what they have built — coordinating wealth management and succession through trusted, licensed partners.
Building, scaling, or preparing to realise the value of what they have created.
Navigating growth, governance and the transition between generations.
Pursuing acquisitions, disposals, partnerships or strategic change.
Seeking opportunities, trusted partners and rigorous transaction support.
We provide independent strategic and transactional advisory. Where a mandate calls for regulated services — such as wealth management or succession planning — we work alongside trusted, appropriately licensed partners, so you receive joined-up advice without compromise.
Independence is not a slogan for us — it is our operating model. We earn fees for advice and nothing else. That alignment is what allows us to be genuinely candid when it matters most.
Independence. Alignment. Discretion.

A graduate of Paris-Dauphine and EM Lyon, he is a member of the Mauritius Institute of Directors and sits on several boards across the region.
Sonali brings the financial rigour at the core of every Necker Strategy mandate. A Chartered Accountant (ICAEW), she spent five years in assurance with PwC — in Mauritius and Monaco — having begun her career with EY in Singapore, leading audits of listed and private companies across hospitality, asset management, real estate, investment funds and textiles. She holds a BSc in Accounting and Finance from the University of Exeter. Her command of financial reporting, controls and analysis underpins the firm's valuation, due-diligence and transaction work.
If you're weighing a transaction, a partnership or a change of direction, an early, independent conversation is often the most valuable one. We'd be glad to listen.
