Princess Maha Appointed to Lead Future Investment Initiative in Saudi Arabia

Princess Maha Al Saud named CEO of Future Investment Initiative Institute

The Future Investment Initiative Institute, a platform that annually attracts Wall Street titans to Riyadh, has appointed Princess Maha Al Saud as its new chief executive. The institute, which was established in 2019 with the Public Investment Fund as its founding partner, hosts an annual summit and organizes economic gatherings worldwide to attract foreign investment.

Princess Maha Al Saud, a trained doctor who previously served as vice president of External Relations and Advancement at Alfaisal University in Riyadh, has represented Saudi Arabia at major international forums such as the G20 and the fourth Eurasian Women’s Forum. The leadership change precedes an upcoming conference in Rome later this month and follows the institute’s Miami event in March, where US President Donald Trump was present.

Richard Attias, the founder of the Future Investment Initiative Institute, remains chairman of the executive committee despite no longer serving as CEO.
