Mubarak Hamad Al Muhairi, a UAE national, is TDIC’s Managing Director, responsible for overseeing the creation of many of Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious development projects. These include Saadiyat Island, which will include the world’s largest single concentration of premier cultural institutions, such as the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi museum and Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Mubarak worked for several years in real estate investment with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and was director general of Al Ain Economic Development and Tourism Promotion Authority, a government body responsible for the marketing and development of the eastern region of Abu Dhabi emirate.
Prior to joining TDIC, Mubarak was appointed Director General of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) upon its creation in September 2004 – a position he continues to hold today. He works very closely with HE Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, who chairs both the ADTA and TDIC for the promotion and development of the emirate’s tourism sector.
Mubarak holds a number of board member positions with governmental organisations such as the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Abu Dhabi Media Company and Etihad Airways, the UAE’s national carrier.
Mubarak graduated from the UAE University with a degree in Civil Engineering before going on to Portland State University, USA, where he earned a master’s degree in Engineering Management.
