RW Capital & Strategy

RW Capital & Strategy

RW Capital & Strategy was established in 1997 by Mauricio Rioseco, a former Managing Partner for Mazars in Mexico and the founder of Grupo Múltiplo, a leasing and financial-services firm. The firm operates from Mexico City and positions itself as an investment-banking boutique offering advisory services to local and international clients. Rioseco concurrently holds board seats at seven companies across different industries. The firm structures and executes mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, and institutional transformations. Its deal teams have closed transactions involving automotive suppliers, information-technology companies, energy developers, and industrial manufacturers. The firm also provides strategic planning and market-research support, typically for mid-market and expansion-stage situations requiring cross-border execution between Mexico and global counterparties. RW fields an eight-person team that includes dedicated legal and financial-analysis functions. Evelyn Salazar runs the legal department, drawing on prior experience at Motorola Solutions Mexico and the real-estate and corporate divisions of El Palacio de Hierro. Diego Ruenes handles financial planning, company valuation, and decision-scenario modeling for national and multinational mandates. The administrative structure includes Constanza Rioseco and Olga Garci-Crespo, who manage special projects and office operations. RW's structure as an independent, founder-led boutique with an in-house legal practice is unusual among Mexican advisory firms of its size. It does not manage discretionary pools of capital, functioning instead as a fee-based advisor that arranges transactions for operating companies. This architecture avoids balance-sheet risk while allowing the firm to serve both corporate sellers and strategic buyers without the constraints of a commingled fund vehicle.
