Khalifa Investment Group Establishes Advisory Board

The Khalifa Investment Group (KIG) has announced the formal establishment of its Advisory Board, marking an important milestone in the Group’s institutional development and long-term governance strategy. The newly formed board begins with two founding members: Robert Ehlert and Martin Kräter, both highly respected figures in corporate leadership, legal structuring, and strategic growth.

Building Institutional Governance for a New Era of Private Investment

The creation of the Advisory Board represents the next phase in Khalifa Investment Group’s evolution from a founder-led holding into a boutique investment house operating with institutional precision. The Board’s primary purpose is to strengthen the Group’s decision-making framework, ensure transparent governance, and guide cross-border expansion across Europe and the Middle East. Robert Ehlert, serial entrepreneur and former CEO of one of Germany’s leading management consultancies, joins as Strategic Advisor for Corporate Growth & Leadership. Over his two-decade career, Ehlert has advised DAX-listed companies and family enterprises alike, guiding large-scale transformations and exits, including a €324 million transaction at Packsynergy AG. At Khalifa Investment Group, he will advise on leadership architecture, organizational design, and long-term value creation. Martin Kräter, founder and partner of MCICLT, assumes the role of Chief Legal & Compliance Advisor. Recognized as one of Europe’s foremost experts in international corporate structuring and asset protection, Kräter has spent more than twenty years advising family offices and multinational organizations on governance, cross-border compliance, and regulatory frameworks. His partnership ensures that all KIG ventures operate under rigorous legal and structural standards.

The Advisory Board will oversee corporate governance, compliance, and strategic expansion initiatives across the Group’s technology, commerce, and performance investments.
