Rutuja Jagtap

I bring proven M&A advisory and capital structuring expertise to boards navigating institutional capital raises, strategic transactions, and shareholder liquidity events. With over $8 billion structured across equity, debt, and project finance, I serve as trusted advisor to CEOs, boards, and shareholders during critical inflection points—translating between technical management teams and institutional investors while architecting optimal capital solutions.
My board contribution combines three distinct capabilities: sophisticated financial structuring across multiple capital instruments, direct relationships with sovereign wealth funds and European institutional investors, and cross-border transaction execution across North America, Europe, GCC and India.. I help boards build governance infrastructure and bankability frameworks that institutional investors require, while providing strategic guidance on M&A, partnership negotiations, and capital stack optimization.
Companies that benefit most from my expertise:
Series A+ climate and industrial technology companies at critical scaling junctures—particularly those preparing for institutional capital raises, evaluating M&A opportunities, or structuring strategic partnerships. I add greatest value to boards where capital-intensive growth intersects with technical complexity: energy storage, sustainable manufacturing, and industrial infrastructure companies transitioning from venture backing to institutional capital. Ideal engagements involve cross-border expansion, multi-instrument capital structuring, or shareholder liquidity events requiring sophisticated financial architecture and institutional investor access
