Team

A small team, deliberately composed.

Origination, governance and capital markets perspective — the three capabilities the platform is built on.

Sandro Mathis

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Sandro Mathis founded Nova Capital Partners AG to build a Swiss principal platform around physical gold and selected commodity opportunities. He comes from an international sales and origination background and has spent around ten years in the commodity sector, including work with one of the world's largest mining groups — experience that shaped how Nova sources, verifies and contracts physical volume today.
