Adam Malsagov

I structure large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects — connecting international investors with nations and companies across MENA and Eurasia — and build ventures in AI, data centers, and education.

MENA Central Asia Caucasus

After more than a decade leading projects and digital transformation at Halliburton across the US, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia, I moved to building businesses at the intersection of infrastructure, technology, and human capital. At DataVolt, I built the Central Asia business from zero and kicked off construction of the region's largest data center — part of a multibillion-dollar investment program. Today I focus on structuring large-scale industrial projects that help nations rebuild critical industries — alongside my own ventures in education, data centers, and AI across MENA and Eurasia.

My work follows one thread: using technology and capital to build lasting human and industrial capacity in the markets that need it most.
