Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Over two decades across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe, I have worked at the intersection of fund architecture, private capital formation, and cross-border platform development spanning real assets, private equity, private credit, and alternative strategies. My work sits between the idea of a platform and its first close — designing the structures, governance frameworks, regulatory pathways, and investor relationships that determine whether institutional capital follows or doesn't. I have led capital formation for DFSA-regulated fund platforms, structured cross-border investment vehicles across ADGM and DIFC, built investor networks across GCC family offices, sovereign-linked capital, pension allocators, placement agents, and DFI channels in Europe and Asia, and advised operating platforms from early institutional positioning through to anchor LP engagement. My current work includes building an ADGM-domiciled evergreen real assets fund platform targeting institutional capital across GCC, Southeast Asia, and Europe, and advising a multi-city UAE , DIFC based platform at approximately AED 1.5 billion development scale on its capital raise and governance architecture. What I have learned across every mandate is that institutional capital does not follow decks. It follows conviction in structure, governance, and the people behind both. The platforms that raise are the ones that earn credibility before they ask for capital. I don't just connect capital. I design the conditions where capital can compound, scale, and endure across cycles and jurisdictions.
