Reema Khan (CEO at Green Sands Equity) founded her boutique private equity investment firm in 2016. Currently based in Green Sands Equity’s San Francisco office, she is responsible for all aspects of the firm’s investment strategy – as well as the team and operations across its global network.
With a large political and diplomatic network, Khan specialises in strategic advisory for governments to support their branding for foreign direct investment. She’s also a Managing Member of the United Nations Women in Science & Technology Platform, on behalf of the Royal Academy of Science International.
Each year, Khan hosts the Green Sands Global Summit; “an exclusive, off the record, invitation-only meeting of 50 global leaders that span intelligentsia, business, and government.” And in 2019 she launched the Green Sands Prize to honour an individual or organisation with the potential to have profound impact.
In short: Khan has a huge breadth and depth of wisdom to share for investors and entrepreneurs. We asked her some quick-fire questions – and here’s what she told us.
“From Generative AI to Quantum Computing to the Space Industry, while we are strengthening our tools, we are also strengthening human beings by leaning into Biology and Neuroscience.”
Khan’s recent investments include:
“Great opportunities in tech and biotech. While the UAE has become more of a service economy, Saudi Arabia has a real chance at becoming the innovation economy.”
