Managing Partner, Patrimium

Zaid Al-Qaimi is the Managing Partner of Patrimium, a new Multi-Family Office that was established in early 2023 to facilitate the generation of superior returns for families globally through the establishment of world class infrastructure and access to a global network.

Zaid is seeking to build on the success of Kimera, a single-family office based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he was the CIO for 6 years. There, he put in place an institutional standard infrastructure, including a team of very talented individuals, to support the execution of a global mandate across all asset classes, investing in public equities, private equity, venture capital, fixed income, real estate and hedge funds.

Zaid successfully established a global network of contacts across the investment ecosystem, which helped Kimera secure access to premium transactions. Leveraging this network, Kimera maintained a healthy pipeline of opportunities throughout the year and invested across the life cycle of companies, from late seed stage to public equity. Private investments were made on both a direct basis and through funds whilst the public equity portfolio was managed internally.

Kimera successfully generated sustainable superior returns by focusing on long-term value creation through an opportunistic approach to investing, whilst placing increasing emphasis on ESG and impact investing.

Zaid currently serves on the boards of portfolio companies in various sectors, ranging from Fin-tech to digital healthcare to the experience economy.

Prior to this, Zaid worked at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) for 16 years, covering private equities, public equities and strategic investments. Before joining ADIA, he spent over a decade in management consultancy, audit and accountancy, including five years with PwC. As well as holding CFA®, FRM® and FCCA® designations, Zaid received a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manchester, UK.
