Amit has overseen a number of landmark integrations into Dubai Holding over the years, including leading real estate developers Nakheel and Meydan in 2024, DXB Entertainments in 2021 following its privatisation and delisting from the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), and Meraas in 2020. These integrations have streamlined operations, unlocked synergies across the Group and supported long-term value creation.

Amit’s leadership was also pivotal in the successful public DFM listings in 2022 of TECOM Group PJSC (TECOM), the Group’s operator of business destinations, and Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation PJSC (Empower), the world’s largest district cooling service provider (and the subsequent exit by Dubai Holding from this investment in February 2026). In May 2025, Dubai Holding’s residential leasing business, Dubai Residential, was incorporated as a real estate investment fund (REIT) and publicly listed its units on the DFM.

‍

Under his leadership, Dubai Holding also made strategic stake acquisitions in leading UAE real estate developer Emaar Properties and in Emirates NBD, one of the region’s largest banks, strengthening Dubai Holding’s position as a key shareholder in major listed companies. As of May 2026, Dubai Holding is the largest shareholder in Emaar Properties and the second largest shareholder in Emirates NBD.

Amit has played a key role in expanding the Group’s global luxury hospitality portfolio with key acquisitions of flagship properties in France, Switzerland, Italy and the Maldives. In 2025, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab was launched as the latest addition to the Jumeirah portfolio in Dubai, further elevating the luxury brand’s local presence. The Group’s real estate business has also continued to evolve into one of the largest real estate development businesses in Dubai under Amit’s stewardship.

Strategic partnerships have also been a hallmark of Amit’s tenure. Most recently, these included Palantir Technologies to establish Aither in the UAE – alongside investments with Nord Anglia Education and with Ares Insurance Partners in Aspida. Earlier collaborations with Brookfield Asset Management and Aldar Properties further reinforced the Group’s approach to growth across key sectors.

‍

In addition to his executive leadership, Amit serves on the boards of several regional and international organisations, including TECOM. He also contributes to governance and strategic oversight as a member of various committees, such as the Audit and Risk Committee of TECOM. Additionally, he serves on the Advisory Board of Warwick Business School in the UK and on the Board of Trustees of the British University in Dubai.

Before joining Dubai Holding, Amit gained over a decade of experience in financial services with leading investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, UBS and Deutsche Bank, where he specialised in transaction advisory, structuring and capital markets.

Amit holds a Master of Philosophy degree in Finance from the University of Cambridge (UK) and a BSc (First Class Hons.) in Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics from the University of Warwick (UK).
