The Majlis and the Boardroom
A Head of Investments’ Perspective on Wealth, Reputation, and Generational Legacy in Saudi Arabia
Family offices have long been the hidden engines of global capital, but in Saudi Arabia, they carry an even deeper weight: they are custodians of legacy, reputation, and national transformation. The Majlis and the Boardroom takes readers inside this world — where tradition meets modern finance, and every investment decision is as much about values as it is about returns.
Told through the eyes of a Head of Investments, this book reveals the conversations behind closed doors: the quiet influence of the majlis, the balancing act between wealth creation and reputation, and the subtle ways generational perspectives shape strategy. From governance frameworks and risk-taking to navigating Vision 2030’s opportunities, it offers both a candid narrative and practical lessons.
For investors, family principals, and next-generation leaders, The Majlis and the Boardroom is more than a guide to managing capital. It is an exploration of stewardship in a rapidly changing region — where the future of wealth is being redefined, one decision at a time.
