Meet the founder

Nick Abueita

Founder | FAB7 Global Advisory

With more than two decades of international leadership experience across the energy and industrial sectors, Nick brings hands-on expertise in business development, global operations, strategic relationships and investment recovery, including oversight of more than $250 million in asset transactions and sales across his career.

For more than 15 years, Nick worked on the service-provider side of investment recovery, helping Fortune 500 and multinational companies market, manage and sell surplus assets across global markets. That experience provided a firsthand view of the challenges asset owners face—from valuation and route-to-market decisions to tendering, contracting, logistics and transaction execution.

FAB7 was created to bring that experience to the other side of the table. Today, Nick applies that knowledge as an independent advisor focused on the asset owner’s objectives—not a particular auction platform, broker, sales channel or disposition provider.
