Robbie Du Rand
FOUNDER AND CEO
Robbie Du Rand founded Rand Global Group on a conviction that has defined his entire professional life, that Southern Africa’s resource wealth, agricultural potential, and development opportunities are among the most compelling investment propositions on the planet, and that the right structures, the right relationships, and the right leadership can make them accessible to serious global capital.
That conviction is not theoretical. It is built on more than 15 years of operational experience at the sharp end of Southern Africa’s most demanding commercial sectors – petroleum supply, mining project development, and bulk commodities trading – where deals are won or lost not on pitch decks but on relationships, execution, and the ability to structure complex transactions that work for every party involved.
Robbie’s track record speaks directly to what investors in RGG are buying into. He has structured and closed offtake agreements, sales and purchase agreements, and complex cross-border transactions across multiple sectors and jurisdictions in Southern Africa. He maintains deep, long-standing working relationships with refineries, logistics providers, and regional government institutions, relationships that took over a decade to build and that give RGG access to opportunities and channels that most platforms simply cannot reach.
His expertise spans the full investment lifecycle from identifying and mandating assets to structuring the legal and financial frameworks that protect investor capital, overseeing operational development, and managing the stakeholder relationships that determine whether a project succeeds or stalls. This end-to-end capability is what distinguishes RGG from intermediaries and brokers who present opportunities they cannot deliver.
As Founder, Chairman and CEO, Robbie sets the strategic direction of Rand Global Group, leads deal structuring across the portfolio, and remains directly accessible to every serious investor and partner who engages with the group. When you invest with RGG, you are not dealing with a layer of account managers and intermediaries. You are dealing with the person who built this company and who has staked his professional reputation on every opportunity it presents.
That is the standard Robbie Du Rand holds himself to – and the standard every investor and partner can hold him to in return.
