Turning Ambitious Visions into Achievable Reality
Strategy, capital planning, innovation programs, and operational discipline that deliver results.
Led by Michael Slage, The Jamira Group brings over 30 years of strategy, investment, innovation, and large-scale execution experience across the GCC, North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
One of the first 100 employees at NEOM, former Senior Director of Ventures at Red Sea Global & AMAALA, and Investment Executive Director at Soudah Development — where he orchestrated $12 billion in board-approved master-development funding — Michael also contributed to NASA’s International Space Station program and has worked in more than 60 countries.
He has helped launch over $500 million in funds, raise and deploy $450 million, and advise on more than $1 billion in transactions and strategic initiatives, forging partnerships with sovereign institutions, ministries, family offices, and global corporates.
This rare blend of operating depth, capital discipline, and cross-cultural expertise gives The Jamira Group a distinct advantage: helping clients turn bold visions into executable reality by rigorously testing them against customers, economics, sequencing, and operational truth before committing capital and reputation.
Michael brings rare battle-tested insight into what it really takes to turn large-scale ambition into operational success.

The practical checklist every ambitious initiative must pass before committing capital, reputation, and scale.
Customer
Who is this really for? If you cannot name the specific person who will choose it, use it, and pay for it, you are building for customers who don’t exist.
Demand
What do they actually want? Ignore what people say. Watch what they spend. Behavior is the only signal that doesn’t lie.
Price
Are they willing to pay? People may love the vision and still reject the price the model needs to work.
Model
Does the smallest version work? If the basic unit cannot survive on its own, scaling only makes the failure bigger.
Cost
What will it really cost? The dream always looks cheaper before operations, logistics, maintenance, regulation, and geography show up.
Sequence
What has to come first? The exciting parts are never first. Skipping the boring ones is how good ideas collapse.
Reckoning
Can you face reality in time? The strongest teams do not just hear bad news, they act on it before it becomes a crisis.
