Babylon Holdings Limited
stock NYSE

Sultan Almaadeed is an entrepreneur and investor from Qatar, known for his involvement in various business ventures, particularly in the investment and venture capital sectors. He is the founder and CEO of Envst, a technology-enabled investment platform that connects individuals to investment opportunities and strengthens their networks within the global investing ecosystem. Prior to Envst, Almaadeed worked with the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), where he focused on global direct investments, executing significant deals in technology and real estate. Notable investments during his tenure at QIA include a $500 million growth investment in SoFi, a pre-IPO investment in Palantir, and major transactions like the $3 billion merger of Fairmont Raffles hotels with Accor.
Almaadeed has also been associated with Alkuri Global Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) he co-founded and served as chairman. This company, based in Nashville, Tennessee, went public and notably merged with Babylon Holdings Limited, listing it on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021 under the ticker "BBLN." This achievement marked him as the first Qatari and Gulf national to establish an American company listed on the NYSE. Additionally, he has held roles such as chairman of 52 Capital (formerly Harrods Estates), managing over $2 billion in European real estate assets, and has been an active investor and advisor to early-stage and growth companies like Airbnb, Deliveroo, and 23andMe.
His background ties him to the Al Maadeed tribe, a prominent Qatari tribe linked to the ruling Al-Thani family, though he operates primarily as a modern business figure rather than a traditional tribal leader. Almaadeed’s work reflects a focus on bridging Gulf and U.S. investment opportunities, leveraging his experience and network in both regions.
