A financial foundation.
A broader business perspective.

I am the Founder and Group CEO of MTR Group, a Dubai-based group I formed in 2020. My work connects corporate finance, industrial development and business leadership.

Before MTR Group, I built a career in banking and corporate finance in Uzbekistan and the UAE. At Noor Bank, I led a unit of 12 senior relationship managers across business banking and wealth management. Earlier, I headed InFinBank’s Corporate Finance and Monitoring Department.

Today, I set MTR Group’s direction across cold-storage and logistics development, real estate investment, trading, industrial software and yacht businesses. My focus is on thoughtful investment decisions, accountable governance and long-term partnerships.
