Background
Wisam Fasihaldin is a Saudi finance executive whose career has centered on capital markets and, more recently, large-scale real-estate development. He is currently Chief Financial Officer of the Jeddah Central Development Company (شركة وسط جدة للتطوير), a giga-project developer that is a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF). In that role he oversees the finances of one of the Kingdom's flagship Vision 2030 waterfront-city developments in Jeddah.
Before moving into development, Fasihaldin spent much of his career in the asset-management and investment-banking arm of Saudi Arabia's largest bank. He served as Head of Finance / Chief Financial Officer of NCB Capital — the investment arm of The National Commercial Bank (AlAhli/NCB) — a role he held from around 2014. NCB Capital was subsequently rebranded SNB Capital after NCB merged with Samba Financial Group in 2021 to form the Saudi National Bank; Fasihaldin's tenure as CFO there ran through roughly 2021. His stub email ([hidden]) and Riyadh phone line trace to this NCB Capital / SNB Capital role.
Earlier in his career he worked in Egypt at HC Securities & Investment in Cairo, and held roles within The National Commercial Bank (AlAhli/NCB) in Saudi Arabia, giving him cross-market exposure across the MENA region. On the education and credential side, he completed Stanford Graduate School of Business's executive program "The Emerging CFO: Strategic Financial Leadership" (2018) and a program at the MIT Center for Real Estate (2018). He also holds industry certifications including the Saudi CMA's General Securities Qualification (CME-1, 2014), Advanced Bank Analysis (2012), and a Certified Cost Controller credential (2010). He is fluent in Arabic and English.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Classified as an angel investor writing seed-stage checks — this is his investor designation in the source data rather than a documented, thesis-driven fund; no publicly stated investment thesis or manifesto could be found.
- Deep domain expertise in capital markets, asset management, and corporate finance (a decade-plus running finance for a top Saudi investment bank), plus real-estate development exposure through his current PIF-backed giga-project role — the sectors where he is most likely to add value and diligence deals.
- Geographic base and network point to Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC as the natural investment scope.
- *Note:* No check-size range, portfolio-construction approach, or published "what makes me say yes" criteria are publicly available for him.
