Khaled is a partner at Plural Partners. He joined Bigpoint as Chief Games Officer in 2012, taking over a 450 strong department of a fast growing & profitable gaming leader whose titles were played by hundreds of millions of gamers. In a few months he stepped up as CEO to prevent what looked like the end of the group which wasn’t prepared to face the quick rise of social games & mobile games.

He is driven by backing people who refuse to bend their will nor sacrifice their drive to see their vision through against all odds. Fighting for something bigger than oneself to correct an aspect of society that is fundamentally broken & prevents people from living a more meaningful life – lending his experience and reach to help founders, rarely fitting the mould, make their vision true is what keeps him going.
