Hana Khouri is admittedly not a golfer. But over the last decade, she’s climbed the ranks of two major golf entertainment companies and now runs Drive Shack Inc., a Dallas-headquartered operator of three golf-leisure businesses.
Khouri took over as Drive Shack’s chief executive officer and president in 2019 after serving as an executive at Dallas-based Topgolf tasked with setting the stage for its large-scale development plans in the U.S. and globally. Throughout her five years at Topgolf, she held various roles and opened 20 venues.
She arrived at Drive Shack after the company’s chairman told her if she came to work for his company, she would develop new skills beyond golf entertainment and learn about the public markets.
