OMNIYAT Group Establishes Strategic Advisory Board to Guide Ambitious Growth Vision
In a move that marks a major strategic milestone, OMNIYAT Group—home to the ultra-luxury brand OMNIYAT and wider-luxury developer BEYOND—has officially announced the formation of its Strategic Advisory Board. This high-profile board comprises an elite group of global and regional leaders from sectors including finance, governance, law, and international policy.
The creation of the board follows OMNIYAT’s successful USD 500 million green sukuk issuance, its debut entry into international debt markets, and comes as the Group sets its sights on building a AED 100 billion portfolio over the next five years.
Board Appointees Include:
-
Mr. Noel Quinn, former Group CEO of HSBC
-
Rt. Honorable Nadhim Zahawi, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer
-
Dr. Mark Machin, Founder of Intrepid Growth Partners and former CEO of Canada Pension Plan Investments
-
Mr. Tim Collins, CEO of Ripplewood Advisors
-
Dr. Habib Al Mulla, Emirati legal authority and founder of Habib Al Mulla and Partners
-
Mr. Abdulmohsen Al Rashed, Managing Partner of Al-Rashed Group
-
Hishammuddin Hussein, former Malaysian Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs
The Advisory Board’s mandate is to work closely with Mahdi Amjad, OMNIYAT Group’s Founder and Executive Chairman, and the senior leadership team, offering strategic counsel to scale operations, enhance governance, and steer long-term international growth.
“This marks a proud and transformative chapter for OMNIYAT and BEYOND,” said Mahdi Amjad. “With nearly two decades of success in the ultra-luxury segment and BEYOND’s rapid rise in the wider-luxury market, we are honoured to welcome such a globally accomplished group. Their leadership, insights, and experience will help us craft the next evolution of our journey.”
The inaugural board meeting was held on 8 May at The Lana Dorchester Collection, where members were briefed on OMNIYAT’s growth trajectory, investment strategy, and upcoming initiatives.
This development underscores OMNIYAT’s ambition to institutionalize its business, diversify offerings, and cement its position as a future-ready, globally relevant real estate powerhouse.
