Felipe Berliner 

Co-Founder and Head of Structuring

Felipe Berliner is a Co-Founder and Head of Structuring at Gemcorp Capital, where he leads the structuring and execution of the firm’s investments across emerging markets.

Felipe began his career in Brazil, where he was born and raised, working as a lawyer specialising in capital markets, M&A and project finance. His grounding in legal structuring and transaction execution laid the foundation for a career focused on building robust, well-protected investment structures – skills that would later become central to Gemcorp’s approach to private credit.

After moving to Europe and completing an MBA at INSEAD, Felipe transitioned into investment banking, spending a number of years at Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs within their emerging markets structuring teams. He later became a Director at VTB Capital, working on financing solutions for corporates, financial institutions and sovereigns across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia.

In 2014, Felipe co-founded Gemcorp alongside long-standing colleagues, with a shared conviction that deep local insight combined with the discipline and structuring expertise developed within global investment banks could be applied more directly and selectively to emerging market private credit. 

Felipe holds a Law degree from Universidade Candido Mendes in Brazil and an MBA from INSEAD in France.
