If you work with the right people, you can go a long way in business.
That’s why Elitium is so excited to announce the arrival of Mr. Shahal Khan as our new Business Strategy Advisor.
Shahal’s career spans more than twenty-five years in senior executive roles in telecoms, energy, natural resources, and government relations — although it’s his success in real estate that will prove so valuable for Elitium.
Mr. Khan has been directly responsible for the syndication of over $5bn for projects across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. His funding experience will supercharge Elitium Capital’s credibility right before launch.
Not to mention, Elitium (Capital) will become part of his global portfolio of hotels.
There’s plenty to get excited about with Shahal.
To learn more, read on.
Background: Mr. Shahal Khan
Shahal was born in New York, attending American University and later, Johns Hopkins in Washington DC.
After his studies, he founded Global Voice Telecom, one of the first US companies to receive an FCC license for Voice over IP services. Following early success, he merged GVT with a Nasdaq company.
Shahal then became CEO of Centile, a France-based software company, before it was acquired by the European Development Bank in 2005. One year later, he co-founded Fortune Investment House: a tier-one bank in Bahrain with an authorized capital of $1 billion for use in real estate investments in Bahrain and the GCC.
In 2013, he co-founded — and became Chairman of the Board of — Colt Resources Middle East (CRME): a mining and exploration company focused on developing world-class Copper, Lithium, and Gold mining resources in Pakistan and Afghanistan, with investors including a prominent Chinese Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Two years later, in 2015, he formed a consortium to bid for the Sahara Group’s hotel assets, which included the Plaza Hotel in NYC and Grosvenor House, London. In the same year, he established the Al Noor Balochistan Foundation to provide social, economic, and spiritual rehabilitation to the disadvantaged population of the province of Balochistan.
To this day, Shahal remains a Board Member of The Quimera Project (an R&D cluster based in Barcelona, involving 60+ tech companies and leading universities that aim to commercialize technologies that have an impact on sustainability).
He’s also Chairman of Trinity White City Ventures (a special purpose vehicle for the investments of his holding company Burkhan) and Executive Chairman of GDS360 (an innovative cybersecurity software company based in New York City, Washington D.C., and London).
What Shahal’s Arrival Means For Elitium
Few people have a wealth of experience like Shahal’s: a fact recently recognized by the World Business Angel Forum, who appointed Mr. Khan ‘Senator to the US.’
This recognition only highlights his business prowess. But his arrival brings more than cross-industry expertise. He will unlock unprecedented access to an investor network that will lift Elitium Capital to new heights.
We have no doubt Shahal will push the global tokenization movement forward. We can’t wait to witness the impact of his arrival.
A very warm welcome to Elitium, Shahal.
