One Sapphire Group
A constellation of world-class enterprises.
One Sapphire Group is the unified parent holding company that brings together eight world-class enterprises under a single vision — integrating cross-sector synergies across maritime, aerospace, real estate, capital, lifestyle, hospitality, charter, and philanthropy to deliver exceptional value for partners and communities worldwide.
A Legacy Four Decades in the Making
"Not a new chapter — a continuation of a philosophy deeply rooted in four decades of family excellence."
One Sapphire Group is the natural evolution of a family investment philosophy that has spanned generations. Rooted in the values of the Jawa family — third-generation brothers Jamal and Mohammed, custodians of one of the region's most respected private investment houses — the Group carries forward a tradition of trust, discipline, and long-term value creation.
The family legacy was formally established in February 1986 through Starling Holding, one of the first family offices in the region dedicated to private equity and venture capital. Over four decades, this foundation has shaped an institution known for thoughtful, strategic capital deployment across global markets.
One Sapphire Group is the expression of that same philosophy — applied across eight world-class enterprises spanning maritime, aerospace, real estate, capital, lifestyle, hospitality, charter, and philanthropy. Built not for a moment, but for generations.
