Fidelity United is a Dubai-based insurance company formed through a partnership between United Insurance Company and Fidelity Assurance and Reinsurance SARL, a leading Lebanese insurer. The company adopted the unified “Fidelity United” brand name in November 2018, though its roots go back much further — it’s one of the oldest insurers in the UAE market, originally registered in 1976.
The company is led by Chairman Nawwaf Ghobash Ahmed Ghubash Almarri, Vice-Chairman Ricardo Maurice Sleiman, and CEO Bilal Adhami. Fidelity United operates across commercial, consumer, and employee benefits insurance segments from its Dubai headquarters.
