PEDRO DE CARVALHO CARPINTEIRO
Founder
As Founder and Chairman of AJDC International Holdings Ltd (AIH), Pedro leads the company’s mission to connect global investors, companies, and institutions with high-growth opportunities across emerging markets. With deep experience in structuring international projects, managing cross-border operations, and supporting investment flows into Africa and other frontier economies, Pedro has positioned AIH as a trusted UK-based platform for responsible expansion and sustainable value creation.
​
“AJDC International Holdings was created to give global investors and companies a structured, compliant, and strategic pathway into emerging markets. We understand the complexities of these environments, and we ensure our clients can enter and operate with clarity, strategy, and confidence.”
​
Pedro combines strategic insight with practical experience on the ground, giving AIH a unique ability to support both sides of the investment equation—international businesses seeking new markets, and emerging-market companies looking to raise capital or expand globally.
​
“My vision for AIH is simple: to build a bridge between developed and emerging markets that delivers real commercial value for our clients, while contributing to long-term economic growth and diversification. When investments are well-structured, responsible, and aligned with international standards and local priorities, everyone wins.”
​
Under Pedro’s leadership, AJDC International Holdings plays a pivotal role in shaping impactful projects, facilitating partnerships, and guiding investors through regulatory, operational, social and economic complexities—ensuring every engagement leads to sustainable, high-quality outcomes.
