Who is Zahi Khouri?

Zahi W. Khouri is a Palestinian-American businessman and entrepreneur, who is best known for his involvement in numerous business ventures in the Palestinian territories.

Khouri was born into a Palestinian Christian family in 1938 in the city of Jaffa, then part of British Mandate of Palestine. His family fled the city during the Israeli invasion of the coast during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, along with the majority of its Arab inhabitants, becoming Palestinian refugees in neighboring Lebanon. Khouri lived in Lebanon until the 1960s, when he moved to Germany to pursue an advanced degree.

Khouri earned a Master's degree in Engineering from the Stuttgart Institute of Technology, before going on to receive an M.B.A. from the European Institute of Business Administration, INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. In 1967, he moved to the United States, where he settled in Richmond, Virginia and built a career in international business. "Mr. Khouri was an Executive Board Member of the Olayan Group in Saudi-Arabia and NY for over 20 years. He also holds a number of civic positions among others, the Chairman of NGO Development Center in Jerusalem, the Palestine Business Committee for Peace and Reform in Washington, the Carter Advisory body in Palestine and Chairman of the local chapter of Partners for New Beginning, affiliated with Aspen Institute." http://psdpal.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=161%3Azahi-w-khouri&catid=68%3Aboard-of-directors&Itemid=84&lang=en
