Personal Bio
Khaled Shaaban, founder/CEO of Subul and the founder of Roia Foundation, strives to provide opportunities for Syrians affected by the war. Khaled started his IT career in 2000 and spent 10 years as an IT specialist, but his life took a significant turn in 2011, which brought the births of both the Syrian revolution and his daughter. Khaled decided to harness his IT skills to provide communications and technical services to facilitate lifesaving humanitarian assistance. Although he was detained and tortured by the Syrian regime, he remained determined to dedicate his life to helping his people. After being forced to leave the country in 2013, he reestablished his work remotely and established Roia in Turkey, through which he and his team have implemented numerous ICT projects to provide opportunities for people across the Middle East. In 2019, Khaled established Subul, and in 2021, he sought asylum in the Netherlands, where he continues to manage these efforts to provide jobs for hundreds of conflict-affected people living in a refugee camp.
