Sumit Mehta serves as Chief Executive Officer of Iris Acquisition Corp II (Nasdaq: IRAB), a special purpose acquisition company that filed for a $150 million IPO targeting high-growth businesses in defence and industrial technologies. In this role, he has led the company's efforts to identify and execute a business combination, including signing a letter of intent for a transaction in the defence and industrial technology sectors. He also serves as CEO of the predecessor Iris Acquisition Corp (IRAA/IRAAU), where he has been involved in leading a merger with a target company. Based in Dubai, Mehta has signed multiple SEC filings on behalf of Iris Acquisition Corp II, including documents dated February 18, 2026 and August 10, 2026, reflecting his ongoing leadership of the SPAC's public reporting and corporate governance activities.
Beyond his SPAC leadership, Mehta is Co-Founder and Managing Director of Arrow Capital (DIFC) Ltd., a position he has held since 2019, where he leads the firm's Special Situations Group. Arrow Capital is a Dubai-based financial services firm operating from the Dubai International Financial Centre. According to Iris Acquisition Corp II's investor relations materials and IPO filings, Mehta brings over 20 years of distinguished experience spanning investment banking, mergers and acquisitions advisory, private equity, and corporate finance. His career has encompassed work across capital markets and investment management, with a particular focus on special situations and cross-border transactions.
Mehta's track record in the SPAC space includes involvement with multiple Iris Acquisition entities, with SEC ownership reports indicating he has been associated with three companies: Iris Acquisition Corp (IRAAU), Iris Acquisition Corp (IRAA), and Iris Acquisition Corp II (IRAB). He initially appeared in SEC filings as Vice President of Iris Acquisition Corp in March 2021 before assuming the Chief Executive Officer role at Iris Acquisition Corp II by early 2026. The Iris Acquisition platform has been built around leveraging Mehta's extensive network and transaction experience in the Middle East and globally to source attractive acquisition targets in sectors such as defence, industrial technologies, and other high-growth areas.
Mehta's educational background includes an MBA and a BA in Economics, reflecting the strong academic foundation underlying his two decades in financial services. His professional profile, as described across SEC filings, Bloomberg, and Renaissance Capital, positions him as an experienced dealmaker with deep expertise in structuring complex transactions across public and private markets. Through his dual roles at Arrow Capital and the Iris Acquisition SPAC platform, Mehta continues to focus on identifying and executing transformative business combinations, drawing on his broad investment banking and private equity background to evaluate targets and drive value creation for shareholders.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001845712 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 6 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 5 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
