Imran Khan becomes Aleph Holding’s Chairman

Aleph Holding, a global partner to some of the biggest digital media platforms, has recently appointed Imran Khan, a Bangladeshi-origin technology investor and entrepreneur, as its chairman of the board of directors.

He will work closely with Gaston Taratuta, founder and CEO of Aleph Holding, as the organisation eyes significant new growth targets, read a press statement on Thursday.

Born and raised in Bangladesh, Imran 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 recent history - Alibaba and Snap – and is known for joining businesses that are primed for accelerated growth.

"I first met Gaston Taratuta five years ago, when his firm won a major contract with Snap," said Imran.

"The organisation has a global infrastructure that is underpinned by genuine local expertise, and they combine this with innovative technology in a way no other business in this space can," he added.

Aleph connects the biggest players in digital media, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitch and TikTok with the advertisers that rely on them.

"I founded the business in 2005 with just $5,000, and now we're looking to close a year at $1bn in revenue. We see significant new commercial opportunities in Aleph, and Imran will play a key role in helping us achieve them," said Taratuta.
