A word from the Chairman.

H.E. Tahnoun Nimer, Chairman — ADBD Private Office
H.E. Tahnoun Nimer
Chairman

"The relationships that endure are built on trust, discretion, and a deep understanding of the environments in which we operate."

Abu Dhabi Business Development was founded on a simple conviction: that access, relationships, and regional knowledge — deployed with absolute discretion — are the most durable assets in international business.

Over two decades working at the intersection of sovereign wealth, cross-border investment, and governmental advisory across the Gulf, Europe, and emerging markets, we have developed something that cannot be replicated: an intimate understanding of how decisions are made, and by whom.

We do not publicise our work. We do not seek volume. Our mandate is to serve a select group of principals — institutional, sovereign, and private — who require a counterparty that operates with the same care, confidentiality, and long-term thinking that they do.

Every engagement we undertake is personal. Every introduction we make carries our name. That is the standard by which we hold ourselves — and the reason trusted counterparties continue to choose ADBD.

H.E. Tahnoun Nimer  ·  Chairman, ADBD
