Pouria Ghods, President & Co-Founder, Giatec Scientific Inc.

This win is well-deserved to say the least. Pouria is one of the hardest working people we’ve ever met. In addition to the day-to-day engagements that come with running a successful global business, he has been helping to move Giatec’s growing team into a new office space, overseeing the launch of several new products, and preparing for Intermat, one of the biggest European construction trade shows.

Despite his busy schedule, he always makes time to talk to everyone at the office and participate in company outings. Pouria now joins his Giatec business partner and good friend, Aali Alizadeh, who received the award in 2017.

Every year, hundreds of nominations are received and this year is no different. With nearly 300 nominees, this year’s awards saw stiff competition. This just goes to show how talented, dedicated, and hardworking Pouria is. Join us in celebrating this amazing win for Pouria—share the news with family, friends, and colleagues!
