Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak
,MD & CEO,Mubadala Investment Company
Mubadala is a firm on the rise. That might sound strange given that it already has assets worth more than $120bn and is sustained by the billions Abu Dhabi earns from oil and gas but the investment powerhouse, run by Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, is becoming a serious player in the sector.
This year it moves up one place in our list and breaks into our top ten. Mubadala presently owns Spanish energy firm Cepsa, has a sizeable holding in Austria’s OMV and the ink is still drying on its acquisition of a 10% stake of Eni’s holding in the offshore Egyptian Shorouk Concession, part of the giant Zohr gas field.
The firm also has subsidiaries involved in exploration and production in South East Asia and Thailand.
