Carlos Cosín
Chief Executive Officer
Almar Water Solutions
“For me was very important to decide . . . that ALJ has to be by my partner and specifically ‘MJ’ [Mohammed Jameel] and Fady [Jameel], okay, because I have to create something from scratch at 55, which is it was not easy. Not an easy moment, okay. But I met probably hundreds of potential investors, equity founds, and big, big. very well-known equity funds. But my project needs something with a vision of long term, and that [would] really have confidence in myself and my team.
I feel then, a very good support for growth from from the family, and also I have to remark that in this phase, which has to be DC, because the market is quite difficult when you have to [start from] scratch with no references, no credentials ,in the jungle of market. I have to recognize that during these phases we have faced two big problems, that has to be canalized from the human part of our lives and and they respond pretty well. I don’t I don’t think that the other partners can respond in this way. I don’t want to mention because it’s very personal but I have to say that the human relationship we have and the credibility when we open this transparency behavior with them, they respond.
I’m very proud, I’m very proud to continue. And I think we have a long life together because the market is there, the team is very happy and I create opportunities. I have not a personal interest in this I think now Almar is a platform that has to create solutions for the future, of course. You have return back their investment that you have. Then I’m very happy for the decisions. That’s my personal opinion and I think so [it’s] the same for my directors that [are] coming with me for the last 20 years.”
