Saeed Al Mazrouei

Saeed Al Mazrouei serves as Managing Director and CEO of Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), a subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company and one of Abu Dhabi's primary investment arms managing government surplus through diversified asset classes. Since taking over as CEO in late 2023, Al Mazrouei has expanded ADIC into new asset classes, refreshed senior ranks, and grown more vocal in defending its $160 billion capital, with the independently-run unit targeting returns of at least 10% and launching a secondaries business, increasing Bitcoin exposure, and accelerating a push into insurance.

Al Mazrouei brings extensive experience in capital management and public finance from prior roles at Mubadala. He was previously Deputy CEO of Mubadala's Direct Investments platform, where he managed capital allocation and ensured successful implementation of capital deployment and monetization transactions. Before that, he served as Deputy CFO of Mubadala, overseeing group-wide finance functions and delivery of the company's growth strategy while managing Treasury activities including bond issuances and project financing.

Al Mazrouei was seconded from Mubadala to spearhead the launch of the Debt Management Office (DMO) within the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance, where he led transactions valued at more than $30 billion, including a $10 billion joint venture between the Russian Direct Investment Fund and the Department of Finance. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Finance from Suffolk University in Boston, a Master's degree in International Securities Investments and Banking from the University of Reading in the UK, and a Master's degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the National Defense College in the UAE.

Al Mazrouei serves as Chairman of the Endowments and Minors Funds Authority (Awqaf Abu Dhabi) and holds board positions at Mubadala Capital, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), Abu Dhabi Retirement Pension & Benefits Fund, and Edge Group.
