Veteran Investment Executive to Lead Dubai-Based Platform’s Multi-Strategy Expansion
DUBAI, AE / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2025 / General Holdings Limited, a diversified investment platform headquartered in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), today announced that Paul Scribner was appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective November 8, 2024. While his appointment has been in effect since that date, the company is now formally announcing the leadership transition.
Scribner brings extensive experience in complex cross-border transactions and restructuring to his new role. He will continue to serve as Chairman and CEO of Raven Resources Corp., a mid-market private equity firm based in Dallas, while leading General Holdings’ strategic expansion across seven business verticals spanning technology, commodities, distribution, real estate, mobility, aerospace, and sports entertainment.
“Paul’s track record of executing complex transactions on urgent timelines and his proven ability to identify value in challenging situations make him the ideal leader for General Holdings as we build our institutional investment platform,” said Christopher E. O’Brien, Chairman of General Holdings Limited.
Recent achievements highlight Scribner’s growing international profile. In 2025, he was recognized by The CIO Today as “Best in Class” for his ‘Raven Method’ of leadership, and featured by The Arabia Business as an “Inspirational Icon to Follow.” Under his leadership, Raven Resources’ acquisition of Grove Electric & Lighting Supply secured BaFin approval in Germany, enabling access to European capital markets and nearly doubling revenues in its first post-acquisition quarter.
Scribner’s background includes serving as trust protector for Industrial & Commercial Trust AG in Switzerland, managing cross-border asset divestitures across eight jurisdictions, and arranging government-backed financing for mining operations. His expertise spans restructuring, natural resources, and international asset management.
