Where capital meets purpose.

Independent advisory for shareholders, companies, boards, family offices and founders.

From Strategy to Capital and Long-Term Value Creation.

Hestia Strategic Capital is an independent advisory boutique for shareholders, companies, boards, family offices and founders facing important strategic, financial or cross-border decisions.

We work with clients at moments when direction, capital and execution need to come together: preparing for growth, reshaping shareholder structures, preparing companies for discussions with potential financing providers, developing strategic partnerships, entering new markets or preparing a transaction.

We support companies, shareholders and boards in strengthening their strategic direction, governance and ability to grow across markets. Our perspective combines hands-on executive experience with an understanding of the institutional, cultural and commercial realities of international expansion.

Alexander Ankel

Founder & Principal

“"Hestia, the Greek goddess of the home and the fireplace. Home to the Prytaneion, the place where people gathered to deliberate, exchange different views and give shape to the decisions and actions that would fuse their future together.

That is the idea behind Hestia Strategic Capital. It is who we are.

With every client, we create that kind of space: a direct and trusted conversation in which the real issues can be put on the table without reserve and ideas can be tested, developed and executed.

I bring over 30 years of international operating, board and transaction experience to each engagement and draw on a wide network of senior, independent experts across disciplines and markets. The work is direct, practical and tailored to the situation — without unnecessary layers of process or presentation."”
