Saudi Arabia appoints Princess Maha to lead Future Investment Initiative Institute

RIYADH: The board of trustees of the Future Investment Initiative Institute has appointed Princess Maha bint Mishari bin Abdulaziz as CEO.

Princess Maha brings a distinguished leadership track record spanning healthcare, higher education, research, institutional development, and international relations.

Throughout her career, she has played a key role in forging global partnerships, advancing innovation, developing talent, and enhancing Saudi Arabia’s presence on the world stage.

Most recently, she served as vice president of External Relations and Development at Alfaisal University, where she helped strengthen the institution’s position as one of the Kingdom’s leading centers of academic and research excellence.

As CEO, Princess Maha will lead the institute’s next phase of growth and global engagement, advancing its mission to empower leaders, investors, innovators, and policymakers to address the world’s most pressing challenges through investment, collaboration, and collective action.

“It is an honor to join the FII Institute at this important stage of its journey,” she said.

“The institute has evolved into a leading global platform for dialogue, innovation, and investment. I look forward to working closely with the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, our partners, and our talented team to further advance our mission and deliver meaningful impact for future generations,” Princess Maha added.

She will deliver her first address as CEO on the opening session of the second day of the FII PRIORITY Europe 2026 Summit, scheduled to take place on June 19 in Rome, Italy.
