I have been working in the FinTech industry for over 20 years and sold my last company, to Capita PLC in 2015. In 2016, I invested in a Dubai-based Insurance company. Following this, I saw the need for intuitive HR software designed to meet the specific requirements and working practices of the region. Emirates HR is a project I am truly passionate about, being able to solve and address problems within HR that improves efficiency, working relationships and takes away the burden of unnecessary admin is something that is desperately needed in the UAE.
Mark JP Nutter is a successful UK entrepreneur and investor within the FinTech sector. He sold his first ever business at 22 years old before joining one of the UK’s leading technology companies. In 1999, he left and founded his own tech business Isys Group Ltd, specializing in HR and Workforce Management which he later sold to Capita Plc in 2015. Following the sale of his company, Mark relocated to Dubai where after a short-break he began to invest and mentor companies both here in UAE and the UK. He made a significant investment in Arlo Insurance Broker Dubai in 2016 and was appointed Chairman. Mark’s passion for technology and HR has lead him to launching Emirates HR, a business he believes will change the way companies in the region operate and manage their most valuable assets – their staff.
Our Management Team
From the moment Mark first pitched the concept of Emirates HR it was easy to see the huge potential for an HR management solution that is designed specifically for the UAE market. What was even easier was the decision to invest in the company when I learned about Mark’s background as a successful technology entrepreneur and also the team of co-founders that have also bought into his vision

I worked with Mark for over 10 years at his previous HR software business in the UK. Mark offered me to come having seen what the team were working on earlier in the year I was keen to be involved and help establish the roadmap. I was extremely excited by not just the product itself, but the team he had assembled around him.

Having spent 15 years in the HCM software industry, I have now been tasked with driving the business forward and confirming Emirates HR as the best HR solution for the UAE and wider GCC region.

I knew from when I first heard about EmiratesHR that it was going to be of great value and importance to the development of businesses and HR Best Practice in the Middle East region and beyond! That is why I was to keen to be involved. My passion and commitment remain focused on ensuring that the platform and all associated services are delivered with client requirements at the core.
