CEO Message

Leadership with Vision & Purpose

At GLAD Import & Export PLC, we believe in building a future where excellence, empowerment, and ethical trade go hand in hand. With a background in Finance and Travel Industry Management, my journey began in travel and fashion — co-founding Ethiopia’s first top lifestyle store and importing global brands that reshaped local markets. Today, as the President of A&G Biopharmaceutical Solutions PLC and CEO of GLAD, I bring over 14 years of cross-border experience in Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan into a vision that merges innovation with purpose.

GLAD is more than an export company — it is a platform for transformation. We are deeply committed to uplifting local communities, particularly women farmers, by advocating for access to finance, resources, and decision-making power. Through our sustainable and responsible sourcing practices, we proudly share Ethiopia’s finest natural products with the world, while staying true to our values of quality, integrity, and inclusivity. Together, we can change mindsets, open markets, and build a legacy of impact..
