OUR FOUNDERS
JOHN KOUDSI
John Koudsi is a multi-disciplined entrepreneur and advisor with a proven track record of identifying and executing on unique, high-return, risk mitigating opportunities for his investors.
Under the umbrella of KoBre Companies, John pursues investment opportunities in fragmented markets which exhibit particular inefficiencies. John maintains a cardinal rule in pursuing any given opportunity: He will only invest or raise capital if he believes he holds a competitive advantage in the specific market or segment at hand. That competitive advantage typically involves combining a highly capable and historically successful operator with KoBre’s access to strategic and nimble capital, a broad network of industry talent, and experience aligning interests via the capital structure.
