A former Deutsche Bank AG banker is starting a Middle East-focused private-equity and advisory firm backed by an Abu Dhabi sheikh that plans to capitalize on rising investment opportunities in the region.
Shailesh Doshi, previously co-head of the German bank’s Gulf investment-banking coverage, is setting up Aramis Partners in the Dubai International Financial Centre, he said in an interview. The firm, which is seeking a regulatory license, will be chaired by Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family who’s on the emirate’s supreme council and chairman of its Department of Transport.
