L\u2019imad<\/strong> names Abu Dhabi crown prince as chairman: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi officially formed the board of L\u2019imad Holding Company, its newly established sovereign investment platform, and named Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan as its new chairman, according to a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Who else is on the board:<\/strong> Jassem Al Zaabi (LinkedIn<\/a>) \u2014 who also chairs Abu Dhabi\u2019s Finance Department and telecoms group e& \u2014 will serve as managing director and CEO. He is joined by representatives from Mubadala Investment Company, including Group CEO Khaldoon Al Mubarak. <\/p>\n

We still know very little about L\u2019imad<\/strong>, but the statement said it will invest in priority sectors within the UAE and internationally, including \u201cinfrastructure and real estate, financial services and asset management, advanced industries and technologies, urban mobility, and smart cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> The investment platform recently acquired a 42.5% stake<\/a> in real estate and infrastructure development firm Modon Holding by purchasing shares from IHC and ADQ. The platform dominated global headlines in December as one of the major Gulf backers in the USD 108.4 bn hostile-bid<\/a> takeover by Paramount for Warner Bros, alongside Saudi\u2019s PIF and the Qatar Investment Authority. <\/p>\n
