Dubai, UAE — 22 December, 2025: Aventus today announces the appointment of Balal Khan as Head of Marketing, as the ecosystem accelerates its transition to a DAO-led model and prepares for the rollout of Aventus Cloud and other adoption-focused initiatives.
Khan brings more than 15 years of marketing and growth experience across deep tech and digital-first industries, including blockchain infrastructure, crypto exchanges, and Web3 protocols, amongst others across EMEA and APAC. He has led go-to-market execution spanning content, community growth, and product-market fit, managing multi-million-dollar budgets to scale adoption and long-term engagement.
Khan joins at a pivotal moment for Aventus as it consolidates operations under a DAO framework to align incentives, improve execution, and strengthen long-term accountability to the community. With Aventus Cloud on the horizon, his mandate will focus on sharpening Aventus’ narrative, strengthening ecosystem communications, and supporting community-led growth and adoption across products and partners.
“Aventus is entering a new era, defined by clearer governance, stronger alignment with the ecosystem, and enterprise products built for real-world use,” said Balal Khan, Head of Marketing at Aventus DAO. “My focus is simple: executing an outcome-led go-to-market strategy, communicating with stakeholders clearly, and building a community and partner ecosystem that compounds over time. I’m excited to contribute to Aventus DAO and help translate our technology into a story people can relate to, and a network they want to engage with.”
“As the DAO takes a more direct role in stewarding the ecosystem, we’re investing in leaders who can match the pace and ambition of what’s being built,” said Sean Naderi, Founding Council Member of the Aventus DAO, speaking on behalf of the Aventus DAO Council. “Balal combines strategic vision with hands-on execution, and his cross-regional experience will be invaluable as we scale Aventus Cloud and expand our ecosystem footprint.”
Khan will assume responsibility for Aventus’ marketing and communications from Ellie Hyman, who previously served as Head of Marketing.
His background includes roles at organisations such as Huawei Cloud, Qatar Foundation, and PA Consulting. He also holds an MBA from Imperial College Business School.
