Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Green Dome Investments?
Dr. Mohammed Sharaf, the founder and former CEO of DP World, sets the strategic direction. Day-to-day management falls to Hisham Albahar, the Managing Director, who also serves as CEO of Elite Co., a portfolio operating company. The firm's investment decisions are shaped by Sharaf Group's and Rais Hassan Saadi Group's multi-decade experience in regional trade and logistics.
How does Green Dome source its deals?
The firm sources primarily through the operating relationships and trade networks of its founding shareholders. Sharaf Group and Rais Hassan Saadi Group provide direct line-of-sight into logistics, shipping, and infrastructure opportunities across the Gulf. The acquisition of Transcorp International from CE-Ventures illustrates a pattern of transacting within an existing network of regional conglomerates rather than through broad auctions.
What is SISCO Holding's role in Green Dome Investments?
SISCO Holding (Sustainable Infrastructure Holding Company) holds a 31.67% equity stake in Green Dome Investments. The stake ties the firm's balance sheet directly to infrastructure-aligned capital, reinforcing its ability to hold industrial and logistics assets for long durations rather than flipping them on a traditional private-equity timeline.
Does Green Dome operate as a family office or a third-party asset manager?
Green Dome is structured as a generalist asset manager, not a single-family office. It manages capital on behalf of founding shareholders — Sharaf Group and Rais Hassan Saadi Group — and SISCO Holding, alongside its own balance sheet. It does not currently market funds to external institutional limited partners.
What is the geographic focus of the firm's logistics investments?
The firm's logistics warehousing network operates across six GCC countries: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The fleet and warehouse assets are concentrated in and around Dubai, with expansion corridors reaching across the Arabian Peninsula.
What philanthropic work is Green Dome associated with?
The firm supports the Mission to Seafarers, a global maritime welfare charity, specifically its Middle East and South Asia operations. The affiliation aligns with Dr. Sharaf's background in global shipping and the firm's identity within the maritime community.
What investment stages does Green Dome target?
The firm targets growth-stage investments, primarily through direct acquisitions and strategic stakes in industrial and logistics operating companies. It does not operate a venture capital fund or target seed-stage technology companies; its focus remains on mature, cash-flowing assets within the regional trade infrastructure ecosystem.
