Tarun Chawla has joined CapitalSage Group as Executive Director, where he will be responsible for overseeing global operations of Johnvents, the group’s agri-commodities and FMCG businesses. This marks a strategic addition to the leadership team as CapitalSage pursues its vision of becoming a globally differentiated enterprise with a diversified footprint across agricultural origination, value addition, and select consumer categories.
Prior to this move, Tarun served as the Global Business Head – Food and Food Ingredients at ETG (Export Trading Group), where he managed a diversified portfolio including agri-commodities trading, private label acquisitions in Europe, and a health snacking brand in India. His leadership was instrumental in driving sustainable profitability, operational restructuring, and enabling strategic growth across complex global value chains.
Tarun brings over two decades of rich experience in the food and agri sector, having led global business mandates at Olam, and previously held roles at Unilever and Coca-Cola. His cross-functional expertise spans strategic sourcing, commodity risk management, supply chain optimization, and executing M&A initiatives across geographies including India, China, Africa, and Europe.
In his new role, Tarun will be based out of Dubai and focus on scaling the global footprint of Johnvents across key origination markets while strengthening downstream value-added capabilities and FMCG initiatives. He will also work closely on forging new strategic partnerships and reinforcing CapitalSage’s commitment to creating value with purpose across the agri ecosystem.
This appointment underscores CapitalSage’s long-term ambition to build a global platform rooted in African heritage and global relevance, powered by proven leadership and a purpose-driven growth agenda.
