Iain A. L. MacGregor

Founder and Managing Director

Iain’s entrepreneurial & corporate experience crosses multiple industry sectors including insurance underwriting on Wall Street, media & advertising NYC, geo-political risk assessment & mitigation, automotive, medical, information technology, company ownership, and security, with the last 30 years devoted to every aspect of the investment & real estate sectors, business transformation, complex high-value cross-border transactions, and investment banking & corporate finance.

His clients are governments, boards & executive management of corporates, family investment offices and HNWIs predominantly in the Middle East and Asia with investments and business interests in Africa, Asia, UK, Europe, Russia, and North America.

Since 1995, Iain began learning over many years from leaders in politics, security and business that taught him leadership and risk assessment skills, investment banking, real estate and management consulting in both Western and traditional cultures. Whilst in London, Iain worked in association with a leading international investment bank and a management consulting firm in London (1995-2004) before accepting a 4-year position (2004-2008) as EUROPEAN MANAGING DIRECTOR (based in London). Iain moved to Kuwait in 2008 to join a new investment company as VICE PRESIDENT until 2010.

Iain studied at the ISLAMIC INSTITUTE FOR BANKING AND INSURANCE London and is experienced in Islamic Shari’ah-compliant investing and his study and practice of SYSTEMS THINKING & SYSTEMS DYNAMICS over many years is the foundation of his business philosophy of understanding problems at a systemic rather than at a symptomatic level.

Iain is both a strategic linear and lateral thinker who has developed fruitful, steady, long-term relationships throughout his career, especially in the Middle East and Asian business and social establishments and, together with his training, he understands the big picture and refines it to a granular level.
