Stepping into the role of CEO at Graphiant is an honor and a responsibility entrusted to me by our founder, Khalid Raza, and our Board of Directors. I am grateful to have seen Graphiant grow from a bold idea to a force in networking, and to lead our next stage of growth. We stand at a new era of connectivity and AI. I am excited to lead Graphiant to make a global impact.
Graphiant was founded on a simple belief: connectivity must evolve. I have long believed that when AI examines our global infrastructure, it will find gaps in capability. It would see this world the way a young child would if we explained an early era of buying SMS bundles and minutes. A relic of a time when our infrastructure was not ready.
In a world where data moves across borders and clouds, classical networking models are not enough. People need infrastructure that is fast, secure, intelligent, sovereign, and adaptable.
I am proud of the teams at Graphiant. We built a platform that redefines how to connect, protect, and optimize data. Our customers operate with confidence, innovate faster, and realize economic value. From deployments in North America to sovereign infrastructure initiatives in the Middle East, we have expanded across three continents. We are just getting started. We now turn to Africa, South America, and China to enter markets where connectivity will reshape economies.
As CEO, I am focused on accelerating platform adoption, deepening strategic partnerships, and advancing sovereign networking capabilities. This means staying pragmatic. Deliver strong ROI and secure multi-cloud connectivity for teams that need efficiency, and future ready capabilities for those building data models for an AI powered economy.
The most exciting part of this journey is the chance to shape the networks of the future, networks that are programmable, scalable, context aware, and policy driven. Humans, machines, and agentic AI must all interact. Regulations will evolve. New modes of interaction will emerge. New ways to create value will follow. Change will accelerate. In this world, data has transactable value because every piece can drive growth.
At Graphiant, this future excites us. We are embedding intelligence into the fabric of connectivity, enabling real time decision making and adaptive control across complex environments. We know that data sovereignty and security are paramount. Governments and businesses should have infrastructure that respects jurisdictional boundaries while delivering global performance. Graphiant provides trusted connectivity that aligns with governance and compliance frameworks.
I am also proud to share that Khalid Raza, our founder, will continue to play a pivotal role as our Chief Strategy Officer. His foresight is unmatched. He sees where networks will move long before others. His focus on global expansion, particularly in the GCC region, will help us forge new partnerships and open new markets.
Looking ahead, Graphiant is more than a technology company. We are a connectivity partner for the AI era. We help organizations navigate complexity, apply intelligence, and build resilient digital ecosystems. Whether it is enabling real time collaboration across continents, securing sensitive data in motion, or powering autonomous operations, our platform is built to be the backbone of modern innovation.
To our customers, partners, and investors, thank you for your trust and support. Your confidence fuels everything we do.
To our team, thank you for your dedication and brilliance. You allow Graphiant to push boundaries and redefine what is possible.
To my grandparents who instilled my core values, I would not be here without you.
To those meeting us for the first time, join us on this journey. The future of connectivity is intelligent, sovereign, and secure. At Graphiant, we are building it today.
