MSTRPay has appointed Mr Gabriel Mavungo Lando as a non-exclusive country agent for Angola, reinforcing its structured expansion strategy in Southern Africa as part of its wider emerging-markets roadmap.
The appointment strengthens MSTRPay’s access to Angola’s institutional and industrial ecosystem while preserving its disciplined, compliance-first entry model.
Mr Gabriel Mavungo Lando’s mandate is strictly facilitative. He will support the identification of licensed financial institutions and strategic partners, coordinate introductory documentation flows, assist in preliminary joint-venture discussions under MSTRPay’s governance framework, and contribute to structured market intelligence. He holds no authority to negotiate commercial terms, commit capital, bind MSTRPay contractually, or represent the company in financial transactions. All commercial structuring, valuation, capital allocation, and regulatory approvals remain fully centralised within MSTRPay’s executive leadership.
The engagement is governed by formal NDA and Agent Agreement documentation to ensure that all activity proceeds in a controlled, documented, and compliant manner.
Mr Lando brings more than thirteen years of senior technical experience within the oil & gas and power generation sectors. He currently serves as a Rotating Equipment Engineer with SBM Offshore (NGOMA FPSO – Azule Energy, Angola), with a professional track record spanning major infrastructure and industrial projects across Angola and other African markets.
His previous roles with GE Vernova / FieldCore, Siemens (Dresser-Rand), and Solar Turbines (Caterpillar) have provided him with exposure to executive-level technical and industrial stakeholders across Angola, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania. This network offers valuable institutional access within regulated and capital-intensive environments.
Mr Lando’s profile is strongly governance-oriented, with extensive experience in maintenance leadership, reliability engineering, safety compliance, outage management, and regulatory adherence. These competencies align closely with MSTRPay’s structured joint-venture screening, due-diligence, and compliance protocols.
He also brings advanced technical and analytical competence in gas turbines, rotating equipment systems, root cause analysis, SAP/CMMS platforms, and project management. This disciplined engineering background supports MSTRPay’s requirement for structured pre-JV verification and documentation review processes.
Educated in Industrial Automation (India), Subsea Engineering (United Kingdom), and Mechanical Engineering Technology (Australia), Mr Lando is fluent in English and Portuguese — an important strategic advantage within Angola’s Lusophone regulatory and financial framework.
Peter Rinaldo, Head of Business Relations — Emerging Markets, MSTRPay AB, stated:
“Mr Gabriel Mavungo Lando combines high-level industrial exposure with structured operational governance experience. His technical discipline and cross-border network provide a strong foundation for regulator-aligned and compliance-driven expansion in Angola.”
The Angola mandate operates under strict due-diligence, anti-corruption, audit-trail, and compliance standards. A no-valuation-prior-to-NDA policy applies to all counterparties, and any deviation from internal governance procedures results in immediate termination of the mandate.
Angola represents a strategically significant Southern African market, combining energy-sector depth, infrastructure investment momentum, and growing demand for regulated financial inclusion solutions. By appointing a technically experienced and internationally trained professional, MSTRPay enhances its on-the-ground intelligence while maintaining full executive control over structuring and capital deployment decisions.
As in all markets, MSTRPay’s Angola engagement follows a phased model: assessment, partner identification, regulatory alignment, due diligence, commercial structuring, and executive approval. By separating local facilitation from corporate decision-making, the company balances regional access with institutional-grade governance.
Further updates will be provided as the Angola market assessment progresses.
