"Talent crosses the boundaries of race, education, wealth, and belief with an equitable distribution globally. However, economic opportunities do not reflect this parity, leading to significant disparities in wealth, access to education, health, and judicial equity between communities of diverse cultural backgrounds and majority groups. Recognizing this reality, our investment approach aims to capitalize on untapped potential where talent is abundant but opportunities are limited, thus creating value while promoting a more inclusive and equitable society.” Wils Théagène, Founder and Managing Partner As the founder and manager of Citadelle Capital, I have specialized for over 30 years in responsible investment, diversity, investment management, private equity, and venture capital.Just like my creation of the Equity 253 Fund of $250M at CDPQ, Citadelle Capital is an impact investment fund in private equity and venture capital aiming to:🎯Generate returns🎯Enrich culturally diverse communities🎯Eliminate gaps for minority communitiesTrue to my values, I am recognized as the architect and ambassador of responsible investment models addressing under-representation in diversity.
