Senior Project Manager jobs in Italy

Company Description

Over the many years of its pursuit for investment diversification, the Ghobash Group has capitalized on opportunities in sectors with encouraging growth potential by either buying out established operating companies or founding new businesses to extend value into those markets. As the portfolio of these fully, or majority-owned operating companies grew and became more diversified, the Group established ABAN INVESTMENT in 2008 to administer and facilitate its smooth operation. Each operating company general manager reports into the CEO of Aban Investment and as such it is an actively managed portfolio of companies.

ABAN Investment currently has stakes in Technology, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceuticals, Industrial Chemicals and Supplies, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Consumer Services. It is committed to building high-value businesses, from start-ups and early stage ventures to mergers and acquisitions for more mature businesses.
