ABBAS HIJAZI

Strategy. Investment. Long-term value.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy and investing: defining direction and allocating capital to opportunities that create long-term value.

Three decades across investment and operating businesses have shaped a perspective grounded in execution and how decisions translate into performance, resilience and sustainable results. My investment focus spans real estate, capital markets and private equity.

BEYOND WORK

There is a bigger life outside the office.

Mountains have a way of putting things into perspective. So do children. Travel, hiking, and physical challenge give me something professional life rarely can: distance. They remind me that the world is much larger than whatever problem happens to feel important that day. Some of my clearest thinking has happened far away from a desk.
