Christoph brings a deep expertise in operational execution and leadership across the global tech industry, particularly in the US, UK and EU. He’s joining to support argan.ai’s vision —  building and managing technology to safeguard capital from large drawdowns while outperforming the global equity market. Besides his rich history and current involvement in multiple global businesses, Christoph has been chairman of the board and investor in Dan.com, the company argans’ co-founder Ali Sardeha successfully sold to GoDaddy in 2022. 

Christoph will be pivotal in supporting the company's vision of growing to +$1 billion AUM with our “Warren Buffet meets Macro Machines” equity strategy. 

“I am delighted to welcome Christoph to the advisory board of argan.ai. Our business is performing strongly and we continuously push ourselves to be better, both in results as operationally. After the market crash of April 3rd and 4th, 2025, we are down 1.91% YTD in USD, which is unique given that we only hold cash and equities and do not short. Christoph's expertise in guiding organizations to the next stage will be instrumental.”

Reza Kahali, CEO of argan.ai

“Argan.ai is breaking barriers in the investment world by making sophisticated, high-performing portfolios—traditionally reserved for billion-dollar family offices and large institutions—accessible to those focused on growing wealth, not just preserving it. By combining advanced AI systems with proven quantitative models, we are providing access to strategies that were once out of reach, empowering individuals to participate in long-term wealth creation. I am excited to join as an advisor and support this mission of redefining who can benefit from cutting-edge investment opportunities.”
