Shakil Khan

edit

Shakil Khan is most known for being an investor and the former head of special projects for Spotify, having led the launch and growth of the European startup in the US market.

Shak —as he likes to be called— is now working with Path, where he’s helping with the international growth of the startup.

He invested in various startups after having launched his own ones during the 2000-2009 period. He famously sold Buy.at to AOL in February 2008, but also Freesearch.co.uk to Shopping.net after only 6 months of existence in September 2004.

He resides in London, but is most often found in a plane commuting between continents.
