As the Founder & Managing Partner of KSI Legacy Capital, Salima brings more than a decade of finance, strategy, and operating experience across both Fortune 100 companies and privately held businesses. She began her career as an M&A investment banker on Wall Street and later held leadership roles in strategy, operations, and product across multiple industries.

Originally from Houston, Texas, and raised in a family of small business owners, Salima developed an early appreciation for entrepreneurship and the lasting impact of locally rooted businesses — a perspective that continues to guide her approach as an operator and investor. She earned her MBA from Harvard Business School and graduated summa cum laude from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School with a BBA in Finance and Accounting.
