OUR FOUNDER

Adonis Pouroulis

Adonis is an entrepreneur, investor and qualified mining engineer who has worked in the natural resources and energy space for over 30 years. His first listed entity was Petra Diamonds which he founded and listed on AIM in 1997, merged with Crown Diamonds and moved to the LSE’s Main Board, acquiring four mines from De Beers during his tenure as Chairman, a post he held until 2020.

Adonis has also been influential in the founding, financing and development of a range of other resources companies in Africa, taking assets through the full value chain from exploration to production, and some onto acquisition and he maintains an active role with a number of executive and advisory Board positions.

He established Pella as a platform to incubate and build resource entities but over recent years this has broadened into an active investment house with a global remit seeking out unique, value accretive opportunities with an emphasis on clean tech and renewable energy.
