Kibble is the Founder and Managing Partner of Kibble Holdings and DYNE Asset Management. He began his career as an accountant at Ernst and Young and spent over five years with JPMorgan Chase in the Consumer, Healthcare and Retail Investment Banking and Institutional Asian Equities and Derivatives divisions before launching the Latin American investment vehicle Everlight Capital. In 2013 he joined the private investment vehicle Cap-Meridian Ventures as a partner with a broad mandate to invest in numerous asset classes globally, mainly disruptive technologies with superior operations teams. In 2016, Kibble began to focus on his private investment group Kibble Holdings (“KH”). With a similar thesis to Cap-Meridian Ventures but now more opportunistic.

To support AUKUS and QUAD initiatives, Kibble formed DYNE Asset Management specifically to structure and invest in an opportunity to help address the US supply chain issue centered around CREE and also launched a DYNE Maritime Dual Use Fund to focus on early stage venture capital investments in the maritime domain.

Kibble is currently on the Board of Advisors of The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and sits on multiple boards. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Finance and Accounting, a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Biomedical Sciences, both from the University of Queensland, Australia. He is an Exempt Reporting Advisor subject to certain portions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and has held FINRA Series 7 and Series 63 licenses.

Based in New York, John Marcarian is an investor and cross-border advisor who blends private-equity rigor with deep international tax structuring to build, finance, and scale real-economy businesses across the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. His work concentrates on value creation through joint ventures, partnerships, and complex commercial negotiations, with a particular focus on the energy transition, critical minerals, and the circular economy. Decades advising globally mobile founders, family offices, athletes, and multinationals have given him a distinctive edge: the ability to evaluate deals like an investor while architecting capital-efficient, tax-aware structures from day one.

John’s current mandates reflect that dual capability. He is an investor and Director of Dyne Critical Minerals Inc., where he helps advance mine-to-magnet and allied industrial initiatives aligned with U.S. and partner-nation supply-chain priorities. He is a Director of Divergent Recycling, supporting the development of waste-to-materials platforms with long-term feedstock and offtake strategies. In Switzerland, he sits on the advisory board of Aquila Balmoral, and he remains a Director of the Expatland Global Network while supporting the Expatland Giving Bank Fund. He is also the Founder of CST Tax Advisors, the global practice that underpins his tax-strategy pedigree.

Across these roles, John assesses private-equity opportunities with disciplined, unit-economics-first analysis; structures joint ventures and commercial contracts to align incentives and allocate risk; and negotiates exclusivities, royalty and earn-out mechanics, governance frameworks, and long-term offtake. His deal experience spans critical minerals, industrials, shipping-adjacent assets, and sports and entertainment finance. The through-line is consistent: translate strategy into bankable contracts, protect after-tax returns, and position platforms for scalable growth and credible exits.

John began his career at Arthur Young following his economics degree from Macquarie University in Sydney, then served with Duesburys and Deloitte. In 1992 he founded CST Tax Advisors, establishing a specialist focus on global expatriates and business owners moving abroad. He opened CST’s Singapore office in 2004 and grew the firm into a multi-city international practice serving clients across the U.S., Australia, and Asia. Along the way he earned the Price Waterhouse Prize for Tax Law and, in 2007, completed a Master of International Taxation with Honors at ATAX, receiving the John Raneri Memorial Prize as top graduate.

John’s professional affiliations include membership as a Chartered Accountant, Trust and Estate Practitioner (STEP), Associate of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries in Singapore, the Singapore Institute of Accredited Tax Professionals, and the International Tax Planning Association. He is a recognized author and speaker, with publications in the Tax Specialist and the International Tax Planning Association Yearbook, and his many books including  —Expatland, Going Global, Winning Beyond the Game, and The CST Way—that reflect his commitment to practical, globally informed guidance for founders and professionals.
