Taha Azmi Mikati is a Lebanese businessman, the self-made billionaire Co-founder and Executive of M1 Group (diversified investments) and a former executive of Investcom (mobile telecom). His career is rooted in telecommunications, finance, and entrepreneurial audacity.

Mikati holds a degree in Engineering (from a related source). His philosophical approach centers on scale, disruption, and long-term asset hold in the essential telecom, media, and finance sectors (specializing in emerging market telecom). He co-founded Investcom in 1982 with his brother, Najib Mikati (the former Prime Minister of Lebanon).

• 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).

• Investment Strategy: His philosophy is rooted in long-term investment in infrastructure assets and capitalizing on the massive global growth of digital connectivity.

Taha Mikati's strategic genius was his commitment to high-growth, underserved telecom markets. He and his brother Najib built Investcom into a major mobile operator across Syria, Cyprus, Ghana, and Sudan. His structural contribution is immense: pioneering the mobile telecom revolution and driving digital inclusion in numerous emerging markets. The pinnacle of their financial career was the $5.5 billion sale of Investcom to MTN Group in 2006.

Following the exit, he focused on M1 Group (managing the family's diversified investments, including real estate and finance). His wealth is secured by the colossal liquid gains from the Investcom sale and his long-term private investments.
