Rishabh joins Jessie in Johannesburg as a Deal Analyst, where he supports the deal team in evaluating, structuring, and monitoring credit opportunities across the portfolio. With a strong foundation in financial analysis and due diligence, he ensures that each transaction aligns with the company’s risk and return objectives. What drives Rishabh is the tangible impact of his work, helping real businesses grow, create jobs, and unlock their potential through smart, responsible lending.

His mission at Geddes is to help build smart, practical credit solutions that fuel meaningful growth not just spreadsheets full of theory. He knows the real magic happens when you look beyond the numbers, understand the entrepreneur behind the business, and craft funding that fits reality, not just ratios.

Prior to joining Geddes, Rishabh worked at one of South Africa’s major financial institutions, gaining exposure to global clients and learning how thoughtful capital deployment can shape business outcomes. That experience sharpened his ability to identify what drives performance and how to tailor financial solutions to support long-term growth.

He holds an Honours degree in Investment Management – a milestone he’s particularly proud of, having earned it while balancing academic commitments with professional responsibilities. Outside of work, Rishabh enjoys a good challenge and claims an undefeated record in the game guess the flag. (Challenge him, if you dare…)
