OMNIYAT Group, known for its ultra-luxury developments, has established a Strategic Advisory Board aimed at supporting its next phase of growth and transformation. This decision follows a significant achievement for the Group, marked by OMNIYAT’s successful entry into international debt capital markets with a $500 million green sukuk.

The establishment of the Advisory Board aligns with the Group’s ambitious goal to build a Dh100 billion portfolio over the next five years and to further institutionalize its operations. The Board will include prominent figures such as Noel Quinn, former Group CEO of HSBC; Rt. Nadhim Zahawi, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer; and Dr. Mark Machin, founder and managing partner of Intrepid Growth Partners, among others.
This Board will collaborate closely with the executive chairman and the senior leadership team, contributing global insights and extensive expertise in finance, policy, governance, law, and international business. Its formation emphasizes OMNIYAT Group’s ambition to evolve into a future-ready, diversified real estate platform with a global footprint and institutional depth.
Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman of OMNIYAT Group, expressed that this marks a “significant and proud milestone” for the Group and its brands. He highlighted the importance of welcoming seasoned experts who can guide the organization forward while ensuring the delivery of exceptional experiences in every market.
The Advisory Board’s members bring a wealth of experience from various sectors. For instance, Noel Quinn, who retired in September 2024 after a notable 37-year career at HSBC, remains engaged with the Sustainable Markets Initiative. In addition, Rt. Nadhim Zahawi, who has served as a Member of Parliament for nearly 15 years, currently holds a position as a non-executive chair at The Very Group.
The inaugural meeting of the Advisory Board took place on May 8, 2025, at The Lana Dorchester Collection, where members were provided with insights into the Group’s growth strategy, performance, and future initiatives.
