Dubai Future District Fund
Nader began his career at HSBC, spending three years in Corporate Banking and two in Investment Banking covering MENA financial institutions. This experience fueled his entrepreneurial spirit, leading to investments in six startups with successful exits. After military service, he joined Dubai Tourism, first establishing their Strategic Partnerships team before transitioning to data analytics — completing a master’s in business analytics and eventually leading both Business Intelligence and Advanced Analytics functions.
Combining expertise in strategy, economics, and finance with startup experience, he has mentored ventures through Intelak Incubator, Keiretsu Forum, and other programs. During COVID-19, he contributed to Dubai Future Foundation’s strategy and public policy work while facilitating public-private dialogue through the Capital Club. His Investment Committee role with Dubai Future District Fund led to his current position at the venture capital firm.
