Dubai-listed Shuaa Capital has appointed Nabil Al Rantisi as its new Group Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1, 2025. The appointment marks a pivotal move for the financial services firm as it seeks to reinforce its position in regional markets and broaden its investment platforms.
The company said Al Rantisi’s mandate includes accelerating existing business lines while exploring new revenue streams across the Middle East and beyond. His appointment reflects Shuaa Capital’s push to reposition itself as a leading regional investment house at a time of heightened competition in financial services.
Outgoing CEO Wafik Ben Mansour, who led Shuaa through a turnaround phase, will assume the role of senior advisor to the board. Under his leadership, the company returned to profitability for two consecutive quarters and strengthened its capital structure.
Shuaa Capital has signaled renewed ambitions this year, announcing plans to launch new investment funds and reactivate its investment banking operations. The management team is currently finalizing a five-year growth strategy, aimed at driving profitability and creating long-term shareholder value.
Analysts say the leadership change comes at a critical juncture for Dubai’s financial services sector, which is benefiting from rising investor interest and regional economic diversification efforts. By appointing Al Rantisi, the company is expected to focus on innovation, capital markets, and client-driven strategies.
