The Founder

From Aleppo to the world

Alyahia Group was founded in 1992 by Dr. Abdulkhalek Yahia, whose career began as a representative for Philip Morris in Moscow, Russia. Those early years built the relationships and discipline that would define everything to follow.

Today Dr. Yahia leads the group as Chief Executive alongside his sons, carrying a family philosophy of patient capital and long-term partnership into every venture the group undertakes.

"We do not chase markets — we build institutions that outlast them."
