RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC), a leading corporate registry in the United Arab Emirates, has officially announced the appointment of Sandra Marie Louw as its new Chief Executive Officer. This strategic leadership change marks a pivotal step in RAK ICC’s ongoing contribution to the UAE’s national development agenda under the "We the UAE 2031" vision.

Sandra Marie Louw brings with her more than two decades of international experience in business structuring, fiduciary services, wealth management, and succession planning. As CEO, she is set to steer RAK ICC through its next phase of growth, expanding service offerings and reinforcing the organisation’s position in the wealth structuring and asset protection space.

Her appointment aligns with RAK ICC’s long-term goals of supporting economic diversification, attracting foreign direct investment, and enhancing the UAE’s global business competitiveness. With an emphasis on compliance and innovation, RAK ICC provides investors, entrepreneurs, and family offices with robust and flexible structures—such as international business company (IBC) formations, foundations, and holding companies—that enable secure intergenerational wealth transfer and strategic business growth.

“RAK ICC has built a solid foundation over the years, and I am excited to lead the next chapter,” said Sandra Louw. “We will focus on improving access to our services, introducing practical solutions, and making it easier for investors and families to preserve and grow their wealth in the UAE.”

Under Louw’s leadership, the organisation will continue developing its portfolio of services while fostering international collaborations. In 2025, RAK ICC actively engaged with global stakeholders through its participation in significant industry events such as the ICAI RAK Chapter seminar in May and the 21BY72 Season 4 summit held in Surat, India.

These efforts underscore RAK ICC’s dedication to thought leadership, cross-border cooperation, and the delivery of internationally aligned yet client-responsive solutions. The organisation remains committed to enabling businesses and families to structure their operations with a focus on long-term success.

RAK ICC encourages business leaders, investors, and family offices to explore its diverse range of corporate structuring services designed to meet evolving market needs while contributing to the UAE’s position as a global hub for investment and economic leadership.
