Bangladesh-origin Imran Khan has become the chairman of Aleph Holding, the largest global digital media partner.
Aleph Holding made the announcement on Thursday, said a press release.
Imran, a renowned technology investor and entrepreneur, will work closely with Gaston Taratuta, founder and CEO of Aleph Holding, as the organisation eyes significant new growth targets.
Born and raised in Bangladesh, Imran was a prominent debater during his early days. He moved to the United States as a student and graduated from the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business in 2000.
He is responsible for leading two of the largest tech IPOs in history - Alibaba and Snap – and is known for joining businesses that are primed for accelerated growth, the press release said.
Aleph is on track to hit $1 billion in revenue this year. Imran Khan will help the company scale beyond this milestone by accessing new markets, acquiring additional partners and continuing to diversify its service and technology offering.
Imran said he had kept an eye on Aleph and described it as having “a unique” business model.
Aleph connects the biggest players in digital media, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitch and TikTok, with the advertisers that rely on them, whether they’re global brands or aspiring entrepreneurs.
The company ensures that the opportunities offered by digital media are available in every corner of the globe - and does this in over 70 markets worldwide, the press release said.
