Joseph Chubatte's Unconventional Path to Dominating Middle Eastern Insurance Markets Through Abu Dhabi Insurance Brokers

Share this news:

-- Abu Dhabi Insurance Brokers LLC (ADIB), led by self-made entrepreneur Joseph Tanus Chubatte (also known as Joseph Chebat), is reshaping the insurance landscape across the MENA region by challenging industry conventions and establishing a distinctive client-centered outlook. 


Joseph Chubatte’s entrepreneurial journey, which struggles and resilience highlight, sums up ADIB's continuous influence in the Middle Eastern insurance sector. Born in Lebanon on September 20, 1973, he started as a door-to-door salesman at 12, learning the value of genuine connections through constant rejection—lessons that shaped his future business philosophy.


He relocated to Cyprus amidst the civil war, where he became the top salesperson for a timeshare company in 1991, marking his initial success in sales. After graduating from the Institute International Jounieh Lebanon in 1992, Joseph expanded his knowledge through specialized education in Islamic Banking and Insurance. He earned multiple certifications, including a Chartered Marketing Consultant Postgraduate Diploma.


Joseph Chubatte climbed the corporate ladder and made an outstanding impression among his colleagues. Within two years, his exceptional performance earned him an assistant general manager position. After a decade of honing his skills at Al Dhafra Insurance Company PSJ, Joseph entered entrepreneurship and established Capital Shield Insurance Brokers (CSIB) in 2010 with just two employees. 


The market response was predictable: skepticism, dismissal, and rejection. However, Joseph did not let these frustrations stop him. He embraced the philosophy that "there is nothing like a dream to create the future" and prioritized values, superior coverage, competitive premiums, and exceptional after-sales service.


This persistence paid off. After maintaining a prominent presence in the UAE's insurance market for over a decade, CSIB changed its name to Abu Dhabi Insurance Brokers (AIB) in 2022. From managing a two-person startup to leading Abu Dhabi Insurance Brokers with over 100 employees, Joseph Chubatte's company now oversees billions in insured assets across defense contractors' marine hulls, airports, ports, and power plants.


Abu Dhabi Insurance Broker's business strategy emphasizes the importance of trust and personalization in insurance services. Beyond traditional coverage options, Chubatte is dedicated to exceptional client service, as seen in his company's comprehensive perspective on insuring assets ranging from defense contractors' marine hulls to airports, ports, and power plants across the region.


"I recognized early that insurance is fundamentally about trust,” says Joseph Chubatte. “In a region where business is built on relationships, our success comes from understanding that superior coverage, competitive premiums, and exceptional after-sales service can transform an industry built largely on connections and legacy relationships." 


With over three decades of operational experience and a background that includes co-founding more than 12 companies across various sectors, Joseph brings exceptional proficiency to the insurance brokerage business.


In the coming years, the company aims to expand its market presence further while innovating in service delivery. Joseph Chubatte's journey from war-torn Lebanon to leading a company with over 100 employees that manages billions in insured assets demonstrates how persistence and client-focused values can transform both a business and an industry.
