Zenvest Partners
Zenvest Partners focuses on navigating complex shareholder situations.
Zenvest Partners operates in a space where pressure is high and outcomes matter. The firm specialises in advising companies and investors during complex shareholder situations, where governance, communication, and strategy need to align under scrutiny.
Led by Ilkay Sarpdag, the firm focuses on special situations that require careful handling of investor relationships. These include periods of shareholder activism, governance challenges, and moments where alignment between stakeholders becomes critical to protecting value.
At its core, Zenvest Partners combines corporate governance expertise with structured analysis and proactive engagement strategies. The aim is not only to respond to challenges, but to manage them in a way that supports long-term outcomes.
We guide clients through complex shareholder situations by combining governance expertise with proactive engagement, ensuring decisions are managed with clarity and control.
Ilkay Sarpdag
Founder and Managing Partner at Zenvest Partners
In high-stakes situations, there is little room for generic advice.
Clients need clear thinking, fast assessment, and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders with different interests. Zenvest Partners works closely with companies and investors to assess positions, anticipate risks, and structure engagement strategies that reduce conflict and improve alignment.
A key part of the firm’s model is mediation. Rather than allowing situations to escalate, Zenvest focuses on early intervention and structured dialogue. This helps clients maintain stability while navigating uncertainty, particularly when investor expectations, governance practices, and market pressures collide.
The firm’s work sits at the intersection of governance and strategy. It supports boards, executives, and investors in making decisions that balance short-term pressures with long-term value creation. This requires both technical expertise and the ability to manage relationships under pressure.
Zenvest’s positioning is deliberately focused. It does not aim to cover broad advisory services but concentrates on moments where its expertise can have the greatest impact. This allows the firm to operate with precision and deliver outcomes that are directly relevant to its clients’ needs.

Type of client: Regulated financial institution. Challenge: The client required an effective and measurable way to strengthen employees’ understanding of regulatory compliance obligations while accommodating different levels of prior knowledge and avoiding unnecessary repetition. Our role: Berg combined subject-matter expertise with adaptive-learning technology to develop, configure and deliver a customised compliance programme. The learning experience identified individual knowledge gaps, adapted the content accordingly and provided management with evidence of participation and mastery. Outcome: The institution implemented a scalable compliance-learning solution that concentrated training time where it was most needed and provided greater visibility into employee knowledge and remaining learning needs. The client subsequently continued the relationship with Berg.

Global Advisory Alliance gave us access to a network of advisors with deep technical expertise across disciplines no single firm could hold alone. Each specialist brings depth built over decades, and the collegiality of the alliance turns that into something genuinely useful at the point of client need. For us, it was a natural way to broaden the expertise we can bring to client mandates.
Ilkay Sarpdag
Founder and Managing Partner at Zenvest Partners
Out of London, I advised corporate leaders and saw how their ambitions stretched across borders. Hong Kong was where my abilities were really tested.
My decision to go independent goes back to time spent inside larger institutions, including a firm that was later acquired by S&P Global. Hong Kong was the real test. The market moved at a different pace, and corporate governance by equity owners of listed companies had begun gaining real traction.
Shareholder activism was spreading quickly, challenging the risk and return profiles of household names. Today, CEOs and senior leadership teams deal with that pressure on their strategy and governance as a daily reality, not an occasional event. Zenvest Partners was built to meet that moment.
Our expertise is grounded in the journeys we have travelled. Across the major financial centres where capital allocators and institutional funds operate, and where the leading listing venues drive global markets, our team has held roles as CEO, President, Head of Advisory Desks, on buy side and stewardship teams, and now as mediators. That gives us a view from every position around the table. As connected and founding members of investor networks, we can put clients in front of decision makers at the pace their corporate events demand - which often determines how a stakeholder moment lands.
We work with listed issuers facing shareholder activism or preparing for AGM season, and with professional activist investors shaping their campaigns. The clients who come to us are usually in moments where the outcome carries weight and the margin for error is narrow.
