Holding Capital Yatirim
They are talking about us….
Faycal Lalioui, a French-Algerian serial entrepreneur based in London, runs his business with the same guiding principle: to make money and have an impact.
Born in Paris in the late 80s, Faycal Lalioui fell into the business world as an early age. For this son of an Algerian shopkeeper, instead of going to the cinema and playing football after school with his friends, it was more a case of going to the market and working. It’s not an experience he’s bitter about. Quite the opposite, in fact. « My father ran a family business exporting meat abroad. I started working for him very early on. Even though he was very hard on me, very demanding, even though I didn’t get a holiday until I was 19, for me it was the best schooling, » the entrepreneur admits today.
Faycal Lalioui added a solid university education to his father’s training. He studied finance and obtained a master’s degree at the prestigious Sorbonne before moving to London. Fayçal Lalioui, who didn’t feel he was a good student but was comfortable in the sciences, confides: « Initially, I went to London to improve my English, but then I decided to stay and develop my international activities there ».
In the meantime, Fayçal Lalioui was learning his trade in the City, where he was quickly spotted and built up a solid address book. In 2015, he joined forces with the engineer and Senegalese architect Pierre Goudiaby Atepa. In fact, it was alongside the advisor to former President Abdoulaye Wade that the young Fayçal made his debut in the real estate business. In 2019, with an associate of Lebanese origin, he set up Capital Yatirim, an investment company based in Istanbul, Turkey.
To achieve his goals, Fayçal Lalioui enlists the support of the best. He hired the former vice-president of Citibank in New York, Yoro Mohamed Diallo, as well as other highly influential bankers in the field of finance. In this way, he managed to extend his activities to Qatar, Paris, London, Istanbul, Brussels, Algiers and Cape Verde.
