Our Founder
In 1974, Sheikh Khalid Al-Najjar was born into a lineage of fortune and tradition. He was destined to leave an indelible mark on the financial world. His journey began at the prestigious American School of Dubai, where he was immersed in an environment that fostered excellence, laying the groundwork for his future successes. This early education provided him with a robust foundation in economics and business management, pivotal in shaping his acute financial acumen.
Al-Najjar’s Vision
Returning to the UAE in 2006, Sheikh Khalid Al-Najjar was driven by a vision that sought to harmonise the rich heritage of his homeland with the contemporary financial insights he had acquired abroad. He achieved his dream of establishing an investment consulting firm that would be a beacon of innovation, sustainability and forward-thinking financial management. A staunch advocate of investments in renewable energy, tech startups and socially responsible projects, he was a pioneer in advocating for modernisation and sustainability within the financial sector, a commitment that remains at the heart of our company.
Though his life prematurely ended in 2014, his vision and values continue to be the bedrock of our firm. He profoundly believed in the power of entrepreneurship and education to drive the UAE’s prosperity and social progress, aspiring for the company to be a catalyst for nurturing young talent and fostering innovative ideas in alignment with the UAE’s modernisation and economic diversification initiatives.
