Alec Louw Theunissen is a South African national (born April 1966) who now serves as UK Managing Director of the Corinth Group of Switzerland from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Before joining the Corinth network, he operated QSEP Capital in Johannesburg.

South African Background

Theunissen holds a BA in Economics and Education from the University of Johannesburg (1983–1987). He founded QSEP Capital in Johannesburg, described as a specialist infrastructure finance firm, which was deregistered for annual return non-compliance [B2BHint]. He relocated to the United Kingdom around 2008–2009, initially coaching rugby at Cranbrook RFC in Kent [Kent Online].

South African Complainants

Ripoff Report #1344693, filed in December 2016 from Johannesburg, describes a pattern consistent with recruitment through South African networks — business owners introduced to Swiss-based investment opportunities and charged advance fees. Comments reference South African police and Interpol as reportedly investigating [Ripoff Report #1344693].

South African Recruitment Network

Jurie Coetzee, identified as the Corinth Group's 'Regional Director for Africa (Johannesburg)' on the archived Curatio Capital website (2014–2016), appears to have served as the South African recruitment channel. The South African-themed names of UK special purpose vehicles (Venda, Ilovo, Tswana, Mikrogolf) — directed by Justinas Kairys but reflecting South African references — are consistent with Theunissen's influence over the UK corporate naming [Wayback Machine; Companies House].

Current Status

Theunissen is now based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, operating as UK Managing Director of the Corinth Group. He has been director of 32+ UK companies, 30+ dissolved or in liquidation. His Corinth Management Services Ltd entered compulsory liquidation in January 2026 [Companies House].
