Who is Michael Gale?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over 40 years of global experience in investing, venture capital, asset management and technology.

Michael Gale commenced his career as a technology distributor in Asia Pacific contributing significantly to the success in the region of major US brands including Apple and Macromedia. He was at the forefront of the industry\u2019s penetration of China in the late 80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael spent two decades in Silicon Valley during the 90s and 2000s as a venture investor and builder. He founded one of the first venture catalysts and the \u201cSilicon Valley Lighthouse\u201d which successfully brought many international companies into the Silicon Valley ecosystem. He worked through the dotcom boom and collapse and then the GFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2010s significant interest in technology investment by Abu Dhabi investors brought Michael to the region and he began advising several large family investors from Abu Dhabi and Jeddah across broad asset classes and built a regulated asset management company in Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of Abu Dhabi as a global financial center created the opportunity to launch the first locally based GCC focused investment bank, Michael\u2019s vison for this gave rise to Al Liwan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
