Palma

Khaled Kilani

Chairman of the Board

Khaled is a true entrepreneur. He co-founded Palma and headed its board in 1997, making it his 25th successful business venture. During his 30+ years working in business systems, he was met with the tremendous gap between the outputs of the education systems in the Arab region and the skills required to empower local businesses. In his various ventures, he identified this gap and worked on closing it through continuous education and training of his teams. He saw a strong need to create methods to improve the education system and bring in best practice to local organizations to bridge the gap from the advanced world; this drove him to establish Palma.
