Ahmad Kareh

I had the privilege to speak to Salt Lake Community College’s students at the Business Leaders Forum on November 18, 2015.

The Business Leaders Forum is designed to help students have a better understanding of working and succeeding in the business world.

The presentation I was asked to give was regarding Global eCommerce. Topics included eCommerce best practices and how having an online presence can positively affect a brand. Other topics included logistics, regulations, platforms, marketing and other factors to consider when using eCommerce platforms, such as payments, shipping and cash on delivery.

What they said

“When I was asked to invite business leaders to speak to our students, Ahmad Kareh was one of the first names on my list. My students were completely engaged with not only his lecture, but with his wealth of knowledge and background in marketing/global business”

Jen Klenk- Assitant Professor, Salt Lake Community College

Other quotes from the attendees:

“Ahmad Kareh was very interesting to listen to. I could tell he was really intelligent and had a lot of experience and good information to give us. It was interesting to hear about international business, I had always thought that a big successful business worked both inside the US and outside the US, so it was great to hear about specific information that is a must when taking a company international.”

“This was a fun and interactive presentation. Although I love all the speakers I liked this presentation as far as entertainment. “

“This was a good speech, but near the end I really took learning our capacity and adaptation to heart because I find that we as humans go through that every day. Ahmad is a great speaker.”

“What I liked most was his point about using social media. I think that it has become such a strong and important advertising tool for businesses. I think that understanding how to use, and when to use social media will be a large factor in determining the success of a business.”

“I liked how he and his buddy’s just got up and say “Hey let’s start a business”. Like he said it was hectic, but at the same time a good experience witch led him the success he is today.”

“This week our speaker was incredible. He is doing for a double masters that in it’s self isan achievement. He came of as incredibly smart and well put together. I really liked his PowerPoint it was clean .Another thing I really liked was that he had the class pull up a game that we could playoff our phones or computers. This was good because it got the whole class involved in what was going on and everyone had to use their thinking caps. When the class can get involved like that in a lecture I think the class gets a better understanding of what is going on”

Ahmad taught me that you can have options to explore in the business world. You can have great Ideas and have everything planned out but that doesn’t mean that It will be successful. Time and place has a lot to do with your chances at having a successful business. Also sometimes it is better to sell your company to someone else with more money so they can make your company even more successful.

“What I liked the most about the lecture was how all of these hard subjects were explained. Ahmad is very gifted at teaching hard subjects, very impressive. He is also very smart yet so grounded and humble. I took more out of how he handled himself more than anything.”

“Ahmad Karen was fun to listen to and is very knowledgeable about what he does. I can see why he has been so successful as a teacher and why students like taking his class”

“Ahmad Kareh is fully informative and helpful. He has great experiences and businesses that impressed me a lot. Ahmad provided a tons of useful information about starting a business. His way of speaking is like giving a lecture so it was really interesting.”
