Investcorp Capital, a Bahrain-based private markets and alternative investment firm, has appointed Mohamed Aamer as interim CEO effective March 1, succeeding outgoing CEO Tim Mattar, retiring after nearly 30 years with the company.
Mattar, who has been with Investcorp since its inception, played a key role in its growth, including its 2023 listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. He will work with Aamer during the transition period before stepping down.
The firm announced it would conduct an external search to identify a long-term CEO.
Aamer, Managing Director in Investcorp’s Private Wealth team, has been with the group since 2015. He has led growth initiatives in Abu Dhabi and played a key role in expanding Investcorp’s market presence in the GCC through local knowledge and client-focused solutions.
Mohammed Alardhi, Chairman of Investcorp Capital, said, “Mohamed, with his extensive market knowledge and understanding of Investcorp’s values, is the natural choice for interim CEO. I look forward to working with him to continue delivering strong returns to shareholders.”
Aamer highlighted the firm’s growth potential: “Investcorp Capital represents a unique investment opportunity in global alternatives. I look forward to advancing the company’s strategic goals and engaging with its shareholders and stakeholders.”
Reflecting on his career, Mattar said, “Leading Investcorp Capital during its listing in 2023 was a highlight of my career. I am confident Mohamed will guide the company successfully.”
