After a chance meeting with businessmanMikhail Fridman,[1]who had also been a student at MISIS,[1]Khan was asked to head-up a wholesale trade businessAlfa Ecoas part of a wider company, Alfa Group Consortium.[4][5]The company began by buying and selling a range of products[5][11]including the purchase, upholstery and sale of carpets[5]to domestic and then later, export markets.[11]Khan took on a number of managerial positions within the company as it expanded into new areas, including head of the wholesale trade department, then head of the export department.[23][6]Currently under the umbrella company Alfa Group Consortium,[24]other divisions now include Alfa Capital Management,RosvodokanalGroup, AlfaStrakhovanie Group and A1 Group.[5]It also holds interests in the telecommunications company Vimpelcom and Russia's biggest food retailer, X5 Group.[citation needed]

Khan held a number of managerial positions at Alfa Group starting in 1992.

In 2003, Alfa Group sold exactly half of TNK toBPfor US$6.15 billion,[8]in what was the biggest foreign investment in Russia to date[9]equivalent to $8 billion in invested assets.[10]The deal resulted in the formation of the oil companyTNK-BP,[4]with half of thejoint ventureowned by BP, and the other 50 percent owned by the Alfa Group together with billionaire partnersViktor Vekselberg,andLeonard Blavatnik.[13]From 2003 to 2013,[3]Khan was executive director of TNK-BP Management[4](now called TNK-BP Holding),[4][6]and a member of the management board.[3][25][26]While managing TNK-BP, Khan remained involved with the Alfa Group at large. Alfa Group bought a stake inTurkcellin 2005, and by April 2007, Alfa Group controlled a 43.5% stake inKyivstar,a Ukrainian telecom company.[27]

During Khan's tenure as a TNK-BP executive director,[26]TNK-BP became Russia's third largest oil company and globally a top ten private oil producer.[4]Without a majority stakeholder in the company to dictate choices, by 2008, BP executives were in conflict with AAR over TNK-BP's strategy to internationalise the business.[28]After several ongoing lawsuits, issues between AAR and BP were compounded in 2010, after Khan and Fridman resisted BP's push to do business with the state-owned oil companyRosneftin Russia,[13]contrary to their shareholder agreement.[29]By 2011, Khan's net worth was estimated at $9.6 billion, which placed him at 92 on theForbesbillionaires list, also ranking him as the thirteenth wealthiest person in Russia.[25]Khan was appointed executive director of TNK-BP Ltd. in January 2011.[6]

In July 2012,TNK-BPwas sold to the state-ownedRosneft[11]for $56 billion,[12]a process which was still underway by early 2013.[13]Reutersdescribed it as "one of the biggest energy takeovers in history," with the overall deal worth $55 billion.[13]Khan officially left TNK-BP in March 2013 after Alfa Group sold its 50% stake in TNK-BP to Rosneft for $28 billion.[17][30]Khan earned around $3.3 billion in the deal.[31][32]Using the $14 billion raised from selling their stakes in TNK-BP, Khan joined Mickhail Fridman[15][16]in establishingLetterOne(L1),[17][30]based inLuxembourg,[14]for the purpose of investing the proceeds from the sale of TNK-BP in international projects.[12][14]

LetterOne'sL1 Energywas founded in 2013 with[17]Lord Browne,former CEO ofBP,[33]James Hackett ofAnadarko PetroleumandAndrew GouldofBGjoining L1 Energy Advisory Board.[33]The 2014 downturn in the oil industry and the fallingrublevalue in Russia led to Khan losing about 22% of his estimated value in 2014, or about $2.5 billion in one year.[32]By that point, his overall value was estimated at £6.3 billion.[34]The market afterwards improved, and Alfa Group's assets equaled around $40 billion by March 2015.[35]On 2 March 2015Lord Brownewas appointed chairman ofL1 Energy.[36]L1 Energy officially launched as a company[6]in May 2015 in theNeue Galerie New York.The company outlined an ambition to acquire and then develop a portfolio of two or three regionally focused platforms around the world.[16]On 7 May 2015Lord Davieswas appointed deputy non-executive chairman of LetterOne,[37]and a week later, formerSwedish Foreign MinisterCarl Bildtwas appointed as the board's advisor.[38]

DEA sold its North Sea oil fields[42]toIneos,the chemical company owned byJim Ratcliffe,for an undisclosed sum in October 2015.[43]At the time, the British government assured LetterOne that the forced sale of DEA's UK assets was "not a judgement on the suitability of LetterOne’s owners to control these or any other assets in the UK."[44][45]On 14 October 2015, LetterOne Group announced that it had agreed a deal to acquireGermanutilityE.ON's interests in three producingNorwegianfields, all located in theNorwegian Continental Shelf.Norway's oil minister supported the deal and said that approval would be handled "in the usual way."[46]As of 2016, Khan retains positions on the supervisory board at both Alfa Group Consortium[3]and Alfa Group.[6][24]He is also a director at Alfa Finance Holdings SA,[24]Alfa Bank[6]ABH Holdings S.A.,[6][24]LetterOne Holdings S.A.,[6]and the supervisory board of[3]DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG,[47]which was bought by L1 Energy in 2015.[23]He ranked as the 128th richest person in Europe as of March 2016, with an estimated net value of US$8.7 billion.[48]
