Former One Rock, Apollo and Point72 compliance executive brings multi-jurisdictional SEC, FCA and DFSA experience to support Irth’s continued growth across New York, Doha and the broader GCC.

NEW YORK & DOHA, Qatar — April 7, 2026 — Irth Capital Management LP (“Irth”), a hybrid global alternative asset manager investing across public and private equity, today announced the appointment of Waqas Ahmad as Chief Compliance Officer. Ahmad brings nearly two decades of compliance experience across leading alternative investment platforms and will oversee Irth’s global compliance program as the firm continues to build its institutional infrastructure across New York, Doha and the broader GCC.

In his new role, Ahmad will oversee Irth’s global compliance framework, including regulatory reporting, policy development, surveillance and monitoring, Code of Ethics administration, training, and coordination with regulators, outside counsel, external advisers and investment professionals.

Ahmad joins Irth from One Rock Capital Partners, where he served as Director and oversaw compliance across the United States, United Kingdom and Dubai. At One Rock, he led key regulatory registrations with the FCA and DFSA, managed SEC, FCA and DFSA filings, represented compliance at investment committee meetings, oversaw the firm’s Code of Ethics program, and worked closely with investor relations, capital formation and investment teams on marketing rule, expert-network and MNPI controls.

Previously, Ahmad was a Director at Apollo Global Management, where he advised credit, equity and private equity investment teams on trade-related compliance matters, conflict clearance, wall crossings, expert networks, alternative data and surveillance. Earlier, he spent more than seven years at Point72 Asset Management, including a period with responsibility for compliance programs in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, and he began his career in Securities Division Compliance at Goldman Sachs.

Ahmad’s background is especially relevant to Irth’s hybrid public/private model and its cross-border footprint. His experience spans public and private strategies, real-time investment team support, marketing-rule and MNPI controls, and multi-jurisdictional regulatory regimes including the SEC, FCA and DFSA.

"At the highest levels of institutional capital, differentiated investment capability must be matched by rigorous governance, disciplined controls and real cross-border execution," said Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulla Al Thani, Co-Founder and Chairman of Irth Capital Management. "Waqas has operated inside some of the most sophisticated investment firms in our industry, with direct experience across SEC, FCA and DFSA frameworks. He understands the pace and complexity of modern public and private market investing, and his appointment reflects our commitment to building Irth with institutional-grade infrastructure. His move to Doha further strengthens the bridge we are building between New York and the GCC."

“Irth is building a differentiated platform at the intersection of public and private markets with a clear commitment to institutional quality,” said Ahmad. “I look forward to partnering with the firm’s leadership, investment professionals and external stakeholders to continue building a compliance program that is rigorous, practical and aligned with the firm’s global ambitions.”

Ahmad’s appointment builds on Irth’s continued investment in a cross-border platform anchored in New York and Doha. Since its founding, the firm has established its regional headquarters in Doha and its global headquarters in New York as it expands relationships with allocators, strategic partners and operating executives across the United States and the GCC.
