Ziad Ahmed is a 24-year-old social entrepreneur.

CEO/Founder of JUV Consulting, a Gen Z company that connects clients with young people, Ziad started JUV after realising via advocacy work at a nonprofit he started in high school how often young people were excluded from the youth conversation. Since then, JUV has: worked with over 30 Fortune 500 companies, been profiled by the New York Times, launched major purpose-driven TikTok campaigns, and hosted the first-ever major industry conference with only Gen Z speakers, #ZCON. At 19, Ziad was also named to the 2019 Forbes #30Under30 list.

A Yale ‘21 grad, researching social media’s impact on progressive policy-making, Ziad speaks often on Gen Z’s generational power, seeking to push the envelope forward wherever/however possible. Recently, Ziad was selected as an inaugural Obama USA Leader (Obama Foundation,) but most days, he’s just another Gen Zer spending way too much time on TikTok.
