"Pula", the name of Stephen Lansdown’s family office, carries a unique and fitting meaning. In Setswana, the language of Botswana, Pula means “rain”—a precious and rare resource in the Kalahari Desert, symbolising value and prosperity. It is also the name of Botswana’s currency, reinforcing the idea of stability, growth, and long-term investment. Just as rain nurtures and sustains life, Pula’s investment is about fostering sustainable, thoughtful growth, ensuring resources are in place to build something truly world-class.
At the heart of this transformation is Project Overture, Opera’s five-year strategic plan focused on three key areas: platform optimisation, organic growth, and inorganic growth. By 2029, Opera will have a significantly larger portfolio of businesses, expanded its geographic reach, and accelerated revenue and value growth, all while maintaining a client-first ethos.
