About Pleion Guyana

Our story began on November 17th 2020, when the former Caribbean Israel Finance led by H. E. Ambassador Dr. Andre Thomas, launched a financing instrument to provide access to capital for developmental projects in the Caribbean as this has been a significant limitation for Caribbean economies.  A subsequent partnership with the Guyana National Cooperative Credit Union Ltd to build homes for low-income workers and young professionals in Guyana led to the formation of Pleion Guyana which was established to take strategic advantage of expanding opportunities for further infrastructure and economic development within the southern Caribbean nation. 

​

In 2021, Mr. Raphael D’angelis, principal of Upturn Funds, a leading venture capital and investment firm based in New York, was invited to join the board as a shareholder having significantly contributed to the structuring of new enterprises and project financing on behalf of the organization to help position projects across the Caribbean, namely in Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.  With his strategic input and skills, he has successfully managed to craft an inclusive network of visionaries, investors, and decision-makers.  

In the first quarter of 2023, Pleion Guyana and JW Doyle Associates, a multi-sector holding company led by J W Doyle, a serial, multi-sector entrepreneur, expressed a desire to merge operations bringing an impressive 47+ years of experience and an expansive business portfolio to Pleion Group Inc. notably increasing the Group’s line of businesses and sectors. 

​

Pleion Guyana is now strategically structured at all levels to be a leading economic solution in Guyana and the Caribbean and is poised to significantly contribute to the economic development of the Caribbean, helping to build a new generation of entrepreneurs while simultaneously allowing for a progressively greater number of local participation, within the countries Pleion Guyana operates.
