Nexus Group provides employee benefits consulting in the Middle East, specifically the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan. The company was established in 2006 by Nexus’ Founder and Chairman Mahmoud Nodjoumi through a management buy-out of the distribution arm of Zurich International Life in the Middle East (in the region since 1989). With over thirty years of experience in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Nexus Group operations are located in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan to deliver professional and high-quality service to our clients.
Our company is the largest financial advisor in the GCC region, offering a composite suite of insurance, savings, and investment products to both corporate and individual clients from a range of international and domestic product providers. As qualified professionals, Nexus is a company you can trust, and as an independent organization, free from ties to a particular product provider, we can meet those needs with carefully selected solutions from the world’s foremost financial services and insurance companies.
Nexus has over 300 qualified professional consultants and is actively supported by over 160 dedicated and qualified management and support staff. Each member of the Nexus Group is appropriately regulated by the relevant regulator for the provision of life insurance, savings plans, employee benefits, general insurance, and various classes of commercial insurance.
