"“Leaders, enthusiastic, passionate and judicious won’t be enough to describe Ziad Abdelnour and his swat team at Blackhawk. A top finance professional, taking on any challenge with the know-how to make it happen. I’ve worked with Ziad on some projects at BHP. He’s a key player in the worlds’ most active markets across the continents and it’s an honor having him a powerful side minded partner. He has what is needed to drive you to the upper level. A triumphant person to work with.”"

"“I have brought several advisory clients to Blackhawk. Each and every time Ziad was direct, spot on in his analysis and not only knew the faulty structure of my clients deal, but most importantly how each one could and would be correctly executed. The complexity of the transactions, and the genuinely unique solutions approach Ziad provided, gave stability to the transaction that otherwise could not have been accomplished.”"

"I have known Ziad Abdelnour for over 20 years. He is a man of the highest integrity. If there is a financing/equity need which must get done, Ziad should be the first phone call. He starts with the organization and analysis of the data and then focuses on the target groups. There is no waste of time. He is highly respected in the financial markets and his level of experience allows him to give his clients access to varied capital sources. He moves the project along efficiently and stays with it until the closing."

"We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.” Sun Tzu
I have been getting to know Ziad Abdelnour for over a year and what I have learned of him during this time is that his focus is razor sharp. Ziad is a formidable opponent and displays an incredible ability to adapt to any situation, thereby earning his station, as Sun Tzu would put it, as a “heaven born captain”. I can count on one hand the number of men or women I would categorize as such, but Ziad, with his tenacity and unadorned successes makes no apology for his fearlessness, belief system or his sometimes-impersonal approach to investing, nor should he; after all, this is business, not a garden party.
Ziad Abdelnour walks with kings, knows no stranger, is constantly prepared for whatever life throws at him; he is never surprised by people or circumstance and can therefore make quick and informed decisions that lead him to certain victory. If I ever had to go to war, I would want Ziad there to lead me into battle.
Ziad Abdelnour will over promise and over deliver; in knowing that, I recommend my steadfast colleague and friend."
