At Altea Partners, Ahmad AlFarabi will report to Nawaf AlOtaibi and lead the firm's work with private clients, family offices, and capital-raising activities across the region.

"Ahmad brings a rare combination of deep client trust and genuine investment judgment," said Nawaf AlOtaibi, Managing Partner & CEO, Altea Partners Saudi Arabia. "I have seen first-hand the trust he earns from the clients and families he works with. His arrival strengthens our team at exactly the right moment and accelerates the platform we are building."

"Ahmad's franchise and judgment add real depth to our client coverage as the platform scales and he shares our conviction that aligned capital and trusted advice are inseparable."

"Altea Partners is building something distinctive in the Kingdom – independent advice paired with capital that is genuinely aligned with clients' outcomes," said Ahmad AlFarabi. "That alignment is what private clients and families increasingly expect and it is why I am excited to join Nawaf, Henning, Kabir, and the team."
