Profile

Michael Davis is the Founder and CEO of Davis Health. With over 35 years of experience across the US, UK, Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East, Michael has built a career focused on execution of healthcare strategy. His expertise includes growth and development of healthcare organizations through greenfield, brownfield, and M&A projects, with a focus on multi-specialty hospitals and clinics, long-term acute care, home care, acute and post-acute rehabilitation, cosmetic and aesthetics, IVF, preventative medicine and overall healthcare operations and management.

After relocating to the UAE in 2013, Michael joined TVM Healthcare MENA, where he was pivotal in the growth of the fund’s long-term care business. He served as CEO of ProVita International Medical Center, the UAE’s first provider of long-term acute care, until its acquisition by NMC Healthcare in 2015. Michael then moved to NMC’s corporate leadership team, where he led strategic expansion into the Saudi Arabian and UK markets through M&A and greenfield projects. As Group Chief Operating Officer, he also guided NMC’s formation of the Saudi Medical Care Group in partnership with Hassana Investment Company and the General Organization of Social Insurance in KSA.

In 2020, Michael became CEO of NMC Healthcare, overseeing the divestiture of non-core assets, including the $502m sale of Clinica Eugin, while taking the company private and managing the organization’s restructuring of USD$7b of debt. His work led to improved governance, transparency, and a new corporate culture. After successfully steering NMC through these transformations, Michael founded Davis Health to leverage his expertise in strategic healthcare planning, M&A, and stakeholder communication, helping both private and public organizations achieve sustainable growth and clinical and operational excellence. He currently lives and works between the UAE, USA, and KSA and serves as a non-executive member of the board of directors for three healthcare companies in the MENA region.
