Before launching Aura House, Khiree began his career as an attorney in Silicon Valley, where he gained firsthand experience navigating the intersection of law and emerging technologies. But what inspired him to study law was his exposure to that as an intern at the White House and the Office of the President, experiences that sharpened his understanding of leadership, governance, and policy at the highest level and pushed him to going to Georgetown Law. These early chapters laid the groundwork for the entrepreneurial ventures he would later pursue.
In addition to building Aura House, Khiree serves as the General Counsel at Aero Technologies, a semi-private jet company founded by the Co-Founder of Uber. At Aero, he applies his legal and business expertise to help scale one of the most exciting brands in modern aviation. Balancing the demands of both CEO and General Counsel roles, Khiree demonstrates what it means to lead with vision while executing with precision.
Khiree’s path from law school at Georgetown to Silicon Valley attorney, from the White House to startup boardrooms shows the truth behind this episode’s theme: innovation is the bridge to the future. His story will inspire anyone striving to merge purpose with progress, and to create businesses that not only succeed but leave a lasting mark.
