Prince Khaled is the CEO of KBW Ventures, in addition to serving in various key appointments in Saudi Arabia and globally.
“We are incredibly honored to have Prince Khaled join Eat Well Group as a key strategic advisor, shareholder, and genuine supporter of our long-term ambitions,” stated Marc Aneed, President of Eat Well Group. Eat Well Group’s Barry Didato echoed Mr. Aneed’s appreciation, “Prince Khaled is that rare visionary dedicated to truly making the world a better place, and we are thrilled to have him as a key advisor and shareholder.”
Through his various business entities, Prince Khaled maintains holdings across three continents.
