Volt Partners

Founding partner Henrique Faria leads the firm alongside partners Jairo Ohno and Kaique Ortega. The partnership states that every transaction is conducted directly by the partners, not delegated to junior staff. This structure centralizes decision-making authority in a three-person partner group.

Volt Partners is an M&A advisory boutique, not a pooled investment vehicle. It advises on transactions — buyouts, growth equity, successions, restructurings, and secondaries — on behalf of clients but does not appear to invest proprietary capital directly into the companies it represents.

Spontaneous Due Diligence is a pre-mandate service where Volt independently verifies a potential client's adjusted EBITDA, preliminary net debt, adjusted working capital, and identifies early tax and labor-contingency risks. The firm performs this analysis before a company formally engages Volt, providing an independent baseline that can surface deal-stopping issues early.

DynaVolt is a low-middle-market investment banking boutique that Volt Partners integrated into its structure. Led by partner Ricardo Bertucci, DynaVolt targets Brazilian companies with revenue between BRL 10 million and BRL 50 million, using an AI-driven origination platform that matches company data against over 1,000 investment theses to generate automated buyer matches. Volt Partners now channels its lower-middle-market deal flow through DynaVolt.

The firm's published sector coverage includes agribusiness, financial services, payments, healthcare, tourism, retail, consumer goods, and technology. Its senior advisor bench — including specialists in agribusiness (Ivo Martins, Adauto Sampaio, Roberto Carlos Oliveira), financial services (Marcelo Giufrida, Francisco da Rocha Campos), and healthcare (João Alceu Amoroso Lima) — maps directly to these verticals. The Japan Desk, run by Emil Seko, adds cross-border capability for Japanese buyers of Brazilian assets.

Volt Partners does not disclose making fund commitments or managing pooled capital. Its publicly described activities are entirely advisory — executing M&A transactions for corporate clients. The firm's website and Altss research record contain no reference to a fund-of-funds program or balance-sheet co-investment vehicle.

The firm states that its partners previously held partner-level and director roles at other M&A advisory firms, collectively accumulating more than 80 years of M&A experience. The firm does not name the predecessor institutions, but the senior advisor group includes operators with direct industry experience in the sectors Volt covers rather than only career bankers.
