Najib Azmi Mikati is a Lebanese businessman, the self-made billionaire Co-founder and Executive of M1 Group (diversified investments) and Former Prime Minister of Lebanon. His career is rooted in telecommunications, finance, and high-level politics.

Mikati holds a Master of Science degree in Business Administration from the American University of Beirut (AUB). His entrepreneurial journey began with his brother, Taha Mikati, in 1982, founding Investcom (a major mobile telecom operator). His philosophical approach centers on opportunistic acquisition, scale efficiency, and long-term asset hold in essential telecom and industrial sectors (often navigating intense political volatility).

• M1 Group (Co-founder & Executive): The core private asset, a major holding company with interests in telecom, real estate, energy, and luxury fashion (e.g., Façonnable).
• Investcom (Co-founder & Former Owner): The mobile telecom operator he co-founded (sold to MTN Group for $5.5 billion in 2006).
• Political Role: He has served as Prime Minister of Lebanon multiple times (most recently since 2021).
• Academic Background: He holds an M.S. in Business Administration from AUB.

Najib Mikati's strategic genius was his early and aggressive commitment to mobile telecom. He and his brother Taha built Investcom into a major mobile operator across Syria, Cyprus, Ghana, and Sudan. The pinnacle of their financial career was the $5.5 billion sale of Investcom to MTN Group (South Africa) in 2006.

His structural contribution is immense: pioneering the mobile telecom revolution in the Middle East and Africa. His career is marked by political service, serving multiple terms as Prime Minister of Lebanon—a highly challenging role amid Lebanon's perpetual political and economic crises. His wealth is secured by the colossal liquid gains from the Investcom sale and his diversified private investments (managed through M1 Group).

Najib Mikati's social impact is structural, stemming from Investcom's role in providing essential mobile connectivity to millions in emerging markets. His M1 Group supports various community and educational initiatives (including the Mikati Foundation). His political service, despite immense challenges, provides a major structural contribution to Lebanese governance and national stability.

His structural contribution is tied to the successful monetization and scale of the Middle Eastern telecom sector.

Najib Mikati maintains the professional, composed style of a corporate executive. His attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored suits. His aesthetic reflects serious authority and stability, typical of a leader in the global telecom and political sectors.

Residing in Beirut, Lebanon, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to investment strategy, political service, and corporate governance.
