Reza Magdon-Ismail
Reza and Sabrina were married for 9 wonderful years and have 2 daughters together. Reza wanted to do something special, meaningful and sustainable to always remember Sabrina and the impact she had. He also wanted Norah and Layla to recognise the generosity, empathy and kindness their mother treated others with and felt a Foundation in her name, focused on changing lives for the better, would be just that.
Reza is an entrepreneur and investor with experience across finance, banking, technology and real estate. He currently serves as the Executive Director and CEO of the Crystal Property Group, a leisure focused real estate developer and hospitality chain, and is also a Co-Founder of Behaviol Pte, an online sports entertainment company.

The Team

Sarah Rahman-Jayasinghe
Sarah and Sabrina met in Grade 4 when they were 8 years old and they had been best friends ever since. Though Sarah’s educational and professional background has been in film production, journalism, advertising and event management, this change in career and industry seemed like a no brainer. With years of experience in Sabrina and a passion for meaningful work, Sarah was the ideal candidate for the job.
