About NABICO

Founder & Managing Director

Nabeel Noor Al Nabi - Strategic Capital, Private Equity & Direct Investments

Nabeel is the Founder and Managing Director of NABICO, an independent advisory platform focused on originating and structuring cross‑border investment, acquisition and strategic partnership opportunities between GCC capital and Western markets.

With more than 25 years of experience spanning investment banking, private equity, corporate strategy and business development, Nabeel has built a reputation for identifying opportunities where capital, governance and strategic alignment can create long‑term value.

Through NABICO, he advises family offices, sovereign‑linked investors, private equity firms, developers and operating businesses on transactions across infrastructure, real assets, logistics, food security, energy transition, industrial platforms and special situations.

Unlike traditional fundraising advisory firms, NABICO focuses on opportunities where investors can exercise meaningful influence through ownership, governance, co‑investment and strategic participation — emphasising control‑oriented transactions, GP stakes, joint ventures, platform investments and strategic partnerships rather than passive LP allocations.

Nabeel's work centres on bridging the gap between GCC capital and high‑quality opportunities across the United Kingdom, Europe and North America, helping investors access proprietary transactions while supporting asset owners, operators and sponsors seeking strategic capital partners.
