Meet our Founder and CEO

hmed Ayed is the Owner & CEO of the Ohio Suhoor Festival, where he leads the vision, planning, and execution of one of the region’s most anticipated late-night Ramadan community experiences. With a strong focus on excellence and hospitality, Ahmed oversees everything from venue coordination and vendor partnerships to programming, guest experience, and event operations—ensuring each night runs smoothly and feels elevated, welcoming, and memorable.

Known for his hands-on leadership and attention to detail, Ahmed is committed to creating an environment that is organized, safe, and enjoyable for everyone—guests, vendors, sponsors, and staff alike.
