Riath Hamed
Chief Executive Officer
Innovative Business Leader with Proven Track Record of Building Successful Brands and Agricultural Venture
With over 35 years of business experience, I’ve cultivated a reputation as a commercially driven entrepreneur dedicated to creating brands with integrity and driving sustainable agricultural practices. I’ve successfully founded and led multiple ventures, including Balqees Honey, the Middle East’s premier luxury honey boutique chain, and a sustainable intensive sheep farming project (SISPA) in Saudi Arabia.
My entrepreneurial journey began with the founding of Balqees Honey, born from a passion for sourcing the finest, raw Yemeni honey and transforming it into a premium product. In addition to my work in the luxury food industry, I’m also the CEO of an agricultural project in Saudi Arabia focused on sustainable intensive sheep farming. This venture demonstrates my commitment to both business success and environmental responsibility.
Prior to these endeavors, my business acumen was honed while managing world boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed, overseeing international brand development and negotiating groundbreaking sponsorship and media deals with global giants like Adidas, Sky, and HBO.
