Zeyad
Qamhiyah
ZEYATEK Limited Abu Dhabi, UAE

Zeyad founded ZEYATEK in 2025 with a clear conviction: organizations in the UAE deserve technology advice that is honest, commercially independent, and backed by people who have genuinely operated at the senior level.

His background is in B2B technology sales and business development across the UAE market. Working in early-stage environments, he took on responsibilities well beyond business development, including infrastructure and AI presales, RFP evaluation, and go-to-market strategy across public sector, education, and industrial verticals. That experience gave him a direct understanding of how technology decisions get made, where vendors introduce bias, and where advice typically breaks down.

ZEYATEK is built around a bench of senior advisors and domain specialists with deep operational experience across each sector the firm covers. Zeyad's role is to ensure every engagement connects the right expertise to the right problem, and that clients always have a senior voice involved, not just a junior delivery team.
