Commenting on his election, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan bin Zayed said: “Anchored in the strength and global standing of the UAE economy, 2PointZero Group is advancing a decisive phase of international expansion. Our investments in strategic sectors including mining, energy, and consumer goods, are the foundation of long-term value creation and provide the essential resources and infrastructure that enable the next generation of AI-driven industries.
“Through disciplined growth and long-term partnerships, we are building a scalable, globally integrated platform that delivers sustained shareholder value while reinforcing the UAE’s position as a leading force in shaping the future of global industries.”
Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Vice Chair and Managing Director, said the Group was entering a new phase of development following its launch.
“When we launched 2PointZero, we had a clear ambition: to build a future-focused investment platform with the scale, discipline, and agility to lead in the new economy. That ambition has rapidly translated into a diversified, globally positioned group with a portfolio purpose-built for sustainable, long-term value creation,” she said.
“It is a privilege to serve as Vice Chair and Managing Director as the Group enters its next phase of strategic growth. I extend my sincere appreciation to our Chairman, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, whose vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to enhancing shareholder value continue to guide the Group’s direction, as well as to the Board for their trust,” she added.
The other members of the Board of Directors are Mohamed Hassan Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Maryam Eid Khamis AlMheiri, Mohamed Somar Nassouh Ajalyaqin, Sofia Abdellatif Lasky, Syed Basar Shueb Syed Shueb, and Richard Matthew Gerson.
Samia Bouazza, Chief Executive Officer and board member, said the Group’s focus would be on global expansion and operational execution.
“As we begin this pivotal phase for 2PointZero Group, our clear strategic focus is on expanding our global presence and embedding AI across our operations. By maintaining balance sheet discipline, maximising the potential of our platform, and targeting double-digit returns, we are committed to delivering long-term value for our shareholders,” she said.
The disclosure also detailed the composition of the Board of Directors elected at the general assembly meeting, along with the approval of the reformation of the Investment Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and the formation of an Insider Trading Committee.
The Board further discussed general matters related to the Group’s business activities.
International Holding Company (IHC) welcomed the appointment of the Board of Directors of 2PointZero in a separate statement, underscoring its confidence in the Group’s experienced leadership and alignment with IHC’s long-term investment vision.
Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC and a board member of 2PointZero, said: “With the Board now formally constituted and leadership confirmed, 2PointZero enters its next chapter with clarity, strength and momentum. This governance framework brings together deep experience across investment, operations and public leadership, reinforcing our commitment to building enduring institutions that create value across cycles and at scale.”
2PointZero Group was formed through the merger of three entities — 2PointZero, Multiply Group and Ghitha Holding. The consolidation was executed through a share-swap transaction, under which Multiply Group, an already listed company on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, acquired the two entities by issuing additional shares to their shareholders.
