Scott also holds multiple certifications for negotiations, sales and personal development through various global providers.
"Scott Mundell and Halston Capital played a significant role in assisting me with my projects in identifying capital funding. Scott is very professional and diligent when working with him and Halston Capital strives to be the best at taking your project, (no matter what size of project), to the next level of excellence. Raising capital globally can be very stressful to say the least! A professional who understands what it takes is key and someone who possesses family values and integrity in doing business is very important to me. Scott Mundell, with Halston Capital, showed me exactly that while working on my project in Samoa"
"In the time I have known Scott, I have learned that he is a person of exceptional integrity and impeccable professionalism. These values are the foundation or our business relationship and ensure that regardless of the matter at hand, we can jointly work through any challenge diligently and with mutual respect. On this basis, I will always be open to the opportunities Scott presents and listen to the counsel he provides."
"Scott and his team have been one of our strongest advocates for sharing our message and strategising our global expansion plans into Western Africa to create "Girl Friendly Education" systems in Africa and helping us to implement our strategy in developing countries around the world where child safety is an issue. I love how Halston Capital really took the time to ask all the right questions and learn about our mission to make sure all advice provided was in alignment with our core values and purpose. I would like to thank Scott and his wonderful team for their invaluable service, strong dedication to our mission and helping to transform our vision into reality."
"I first met Scott on his arrival to Australia from Canada where I introduced him to several of Western Australia's top business, political and mining leaders where he was quickly welcomed into the fold and his knowledge, capability and personality quickly made him a name as an individual who treats others fairly and with complete transparency. And for this reason, I am more than pleased to provide my personal recommendation of Scott"
"Over the past 8 years I have worked with Scott and Halston Capital as they have assisted with my philanthropic and humanitarian initiatives and have also assisted with my Company, Polo Consultants. I have found Scott to be one of the most generous and kind individuals I know and his company's ability to introduce global financiers and investors has been exceptionally helpful as we help many others in need. Scott and Halston Capital have my respect and my endorsement as a group who are passionate and committed to helping those less fortunate and making the world a much better place."
"Halston Capital worked with our teams on several difficult utility and power generation projects in Western and Northern Africa. I found Scott and his associates to be highly professional, reliable and able to provide key information and strategic partnerships that allowed our finance teams to work seamlessly with Government entities and secondary institutions providing additional funding"
"I have known Mr. Scott for the past five years and have found him to be a very kind and honest man to do business with. We enjoy discussing many things together and he always brings me very interesting and timely projects and companies for me to consider for investment that will ultimately benefit our family office ventures but also assist our country in the future"
"I was first introduced to Scott and Halston Capital* through a mutual investment banking associate from HSBC in 2008 in regards to a large mining project in Western Africa. Scott and Halston Capital provided introductions to the various Ministers and Cabinet members and facilitated the transaction very efficiently. Since then Scott and I have continued our business relationship and I would certainly recommend Halston Capital's services to anyone"
"I first met Scott during PDAC in Toronto several years ago and I was immediately impressed with Scott's knowledge and experience in the African mining and energy sectors. Over the years I have come to respect and admire Scott for his integrity, perseverance and compassion to help those who are underprivileged"
"Scott has always provided a professional platform for us to work together with our South Pacific and APAC clients. It is always a pleasure to work with Scott and his team along with our bank's project and corporate finance divisions"
"Scott Mundell has been connected to the CEO Institute through a business partnership between the CEO Institute and Axito, a company Scott consulted for. Scott presented to the CEO Institute Syndicate meetings on finance and raising capital where his presentations were very well received. Since I've known Scott, I have found him to be of great character. He has a great sense of humor, gets on well with people from all walks of life, and makes everyone feel at ease. I find Scott honorable and trustworthy. He is someone I enjoy interacting with and would turn to him for financial assistance if and when that is required. I am pleased to say I know Scott and enjoy our friendship."
"I have worked with Scott and Halston Capital over the past 9 years and have found their professionalism, integrity and ability to get the job done, beyond refute. They don't waste time and will tell you directly the most effective way to get your project completed. Whether it's difficult clients, financing or obscure foreign government regulations, these guys know someone, someway or somehow to get the job done. Period!"
