In another landmark moment for the NEO Royal Executive Club (NREC), the Club welcomed Ahmed Al Nowais, Founder & CEO of Annex Investments, for a high-level conversation with Managing Directors Dr. Emily Mogano and Olivier Fousse.

Set within the exclusive environment of the Club, the exchange centered around the shared vision for fostering executive-level collaboration, strategic investment, and next-generation innovation across borders. The meeting reflects NREC’s ongoing commitment to creating elite dialogues among world-class entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders.

During the conversation, Mr. Al Nowais shared his unique experience in building a dynamic hybrid family office and venture studio, investing in and incubating startups across the MENA region. With a clear passion for entrepreneurship and innovation, he emphasized the value of agility, fast decision-making, and AI-driven financial solutions tailored for high-net-worth individuals and institutions.

But at the heart of the dialogue was a shared alignment with NREC’s mission: to serve as a trusted global hub for influential leaders, offering unparalleled access to private investment opportunities, strategic partnerships, and diplomatic engagement.

“NREC is a place where leadership meets purpose,” said Dr. Mogano.

“Our goal is to curate impactful encounters that lead to lasting outcomes.”

“We are building a platform that connects not only capital but also values and vision,” added Olivier Fousse.

The meeting reinforced the role of the Club as a convening force in shaping future economic and social frameworks—whether through supporting entrepreneurs, advancing technological innovation, or connecting business diplomacy with impact.

NREC continues to bring together the world’s most forward-thinking minds to lead, influence, and invest in a new era of global progress.
