Raihan Islam

Principal Advisor, High Velocity

Raihan Islam is a multi-award-winning business advisor and speaker, inspiring entrepreneurs worldwide to pursue
their dreams. Born in the U.S. to Bangladeshi parents, Raihan, a self-taught coder by 18, launched a widely-used
online chat application. While at Carnegie Mellon University, he developed marketing automations that garnered
a rock band millions of song plays.
His adventures took him to King's College London and later to Amazon’s legal team while training as a lawyer at
Fieldfisher. He established a cross-border consultancy in Bangladesh, the UK, and Ukraine, the latter being where
he worked in technology outsourcing from 2016.
The threats to Ukraine in 2022 prompted Raihan to relocate to London. Despite personal challenges, including his

brother's death and the birth of his second son, Raihan persevered.
Today, he advises new and established businesses on strategic product, service, and operations decisions. He is
also a mental health and international security advocate.
