About me.

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.”

— Albert Einstein

Who is Arinze David?

Hi, I’m Arinze — a private equity real estate professional, public speaker, and servant of God committed to purpose, excellence, and raising others up.

Career

I currently lead on investment analysis and financial modelling within a private real estate platform, supporting strategic acquisitions, disposals, and long-term value creation. Before this, I began my career at J.P. Morgan, gaining deep M&A experience across industry-defining transactions.

Notably:

  • KKR’s €22bn carve-out of TIM’s Network Business (NetCo)

  • Etisalat Group's €2.2bn acquisition of a stake in PPF Telecom

  • Kangaroo Consortium's €1.6bn acquisition of Kahoot!

Life of Service

Beyond finance & investment, I’m the founder of a school network that supports students — as they navigate from or to university and launch into meaningful careers. I remain actively engaged in public speaking and mentoring, with a heart for unlocking potential in others

As a youth, I stepped into pastoral ministry, and since then, I’ve continued to serve God and His People using the grace and giftings allotted to me.

As my psalmist, I merge music and faith to create moments of peace, prayer, and deep alignment with God. (Available on all streaming platforms, “Arinzekeyz”)

Education

After A* and A’s at GCSE and A-levels, I graduated with a First Class in Chemical Engineering (UCL), and a Master’s in Financial Technology with Real Estate investing (Imperial College Business School)

Everything I do is driven by one principle: Striving for Mastery—not just in skill, but in spirit, character, purpose, and legacy.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this space inspires you to go further, aim higher, and stay true to what matters most.

Arinze’s Journey

Born and raised in Nigeria, and educated in the UK, Arinze’s life is a living testimony to how grace can rise out of hardship, and how purpose can be forged in quiet places. Though his early years were marked by great and silent challenges, they became the backdrop for God’s mercy and faithfulness to shine all the more clearly.

Even as a young boy, Arinze developed a burning love for God—one that moved him to teach himself how to play the keyboard, not for applause or performance, but as a personal way to worship and commune with God. In every note, he found connection. In every moment of stillness, he found strength.

As he grew, so did his hunger to know God intimately. He carved out a life rooted in prayer, meditation, and unwavering faith—cultivating not just knowledge, but wisdom and character. These quiet, unseen moments became the foundation on which he now builds on.

Today, Arinze’s journey—from humble beginnings to professional platforms, from private prayer rooms to public service—is a story of resilience, grace, and divine purpose. He is more than a product of his past; he is a vessel of hope for the future—committed to lifting others as he continues to rise.
