About

The Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) is a highly influential organisation in the Middle East and worldwide, operating as the primary investment body for Dubai. As one might expect, the organisation’s investments are numerous and diverse (based around the overall goal of making Dubai a global hub for travel, leisure and financial services), including such prominent companies as Emirates, flydubai, Emaar Properties and Dubai Islamic Bank. Eric Milne is general counsel for this sprawling operation, having taken over the role fully in November 2016. Prior to this, he was a partner with Jones Day in Dubai with a particular specialisation in funds and associated financial legal advice, making him an ideal candidate to take over the role with ICD.
