Rayed Alrammahi

Founder & General Manager @ ARD ALGHADEER TRADING LLC

About

Over the past two decades, I have founded and led multiple ventures across ICT distribution and business services, consistently transforming startups that began with almost nothing into trusted industry names. - In 2004, I co-founded Ard Alghadeer Trading LLC (AGT), starting from zero and building it into a recognized ICT distribution leader in the Middle East. Today, AGT represents global brands such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Asus, serving diverse markets with a professional team and multinational presence. - In 2018, I launched AGT Gulf FZE, expanding into complementary services including warehousing, transportation, and IT system support — creating a complete ecosystem that empowered AGT’s continued growth. - Earlier, in 1998, I founded Al Sarmad Computer in Baghdad, starting with nothing but vision and determination. Within five years, it grew into one of Iraq’s leading IT organizations. My entrepreneurial journey is defined by vision, resilience, and the ability to identify opportunities early. I specialize in creating scalable business models, building high-performing teams, and forging international partnerships. Currently exploring new ventures in ICT, digital transformation, and innovative market opportunities, with a focus on long-term, sustainable business impact.
