After conducting an in-depth market study, Patrick Lowndes identified a critical talent gap across businesses in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Despite having economic potential, these companies often lacked experienced operators who knew how to scale organizations effectively from within. Driven by his passion for developing both emerging businesses and young professionals, Lowndes launched Frontier Operators—a venture dedicated to deploying highly trained, strategic operators to support and scale these high-potential markets. Having worked with Nectarine to develop the market study under Pragma Advisors, Lowndes engaged Nectarine to develop Frontier Operators as a sub brand of Pragma Advisors.
