Letter from the Founder

At Noor, we believe capital is more than a transaction — it’s a force for shaping the future. Our mission is to fund the infrastructure of tomorrow: smart cities, sustainable energy systems, intelligent logistics, and transformational real estate that elevates communities and economies alike.

My journey to founding Noor has taken me across continents, cultures, and industries. I’ve had the privilege of working in boardrooms from London to Riyadh, forging deep relationships across the U.S., the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. These experiences have shown me one universal truth: when visionary people come together across borders, anything is possible.

Noor was born out of this global perspective — a partnership between myself and leaders from the Gulf region who share a commitment to long-term, legacy-driven investment. Together, we created a platform not just to deploy capital, but to champion innovation that lasts.

Our focus is on large-scale opportunities: infrastructure that supports growing cities, technology that makes them smarter, and energy solutions that power the next generation. We work quietly but deliberately, aligning with developers, governments, and institutions who understand that scale and stewardship go hand in hand.

This isn’t a race for returns. It’s a pursuit of meaningful outcomes.

To our partners — existing and future — thank you for sharing in this vision. We invite you to stand with us at the intersection of capital, innovation, and global progress.

The future is being built right now. Let’s build it — together.


With respect and ambition,



Co-Founder, Noor
