Alexandre Katrangi is a Franco-Syrian-Saudi entrepreneur born in Paris, shaped by a dual heritage — a Syrian-Saudi father and a French mother — who came of age navigating between the cosmopolitan culture of France and the deeply conservative environment of Buraydah, in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. This unique upbringing between two radically different worlds forged a rare cross-cultural fluency that would define his career. He went on to build Licorne Gulf, a holding company through which he channels his international investment activities across multiple sectors. A trusted operator in the highest circles of power, he serves as a sherpa to heads of state, royalties, and sovereign figures, bridging relationships across borders with discretion and influence. He maintains deep ties with members of the royal families of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain, partnering with them across a range of strategic ventures that span the Gulf and beyond spanning from USA to China along Africa, Russia.

Irina Duisimbekova is a Moscow-born entrepreneur of Kazakh-Tatar and Russian heritage, forged in the discipline of the Soviet era before pivoting West at the fall of the USSR — a trajectory that gifted her with an exceptional blend of Eastern rigor and global sophistication. As President of Licorne Gulf, the family investment holding she co-leads with her partner, she deploys capital across a sweeping range of sectors including defense, industry, wellness, and fintech, with a proven track record of successful listings and IPOs on both the Nasdaq and the London Stock Exchange on behalf of the firm's partners. Her strategic acumen is matched by her diplomatic reach, operating as a missi dominici — a discreet envoy trusted to conduct high-level international negotiations and lead sovereign delegations across borders. Equally at ease in boardrooms and chancelleries, she embodies the rare profile of an operator who moves fluidly between the worlds of finance, industry, and geopolitics. Irina stands as one of the most quietly influential figures in the international investment and diplomatic landscape, known for results achieved far from the spotlight.
