Syed Waheed — CEO, Ship966

We spoke with Syed Waheed, CEO of Ship966, about building a logistics brand driven by customer trust, operational excellence, and Saudi Arabia's evolving business landscape.

Can you share a brief note about yourself?

I'm Syed Waheed, the CEO of Ship966, formerly JetParcel. With a strong background in logistics and supply chain management, I've built Ship966 to prioritize customer-centric solutions, reliability, and precision in operations. My approach combines strategic thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep understanding of global shipping operations.

Why did you choose to start a business?

I've always been passionate about logistics and business efficiency. Starting my own venture allowed me to implement innovative solutions, ensure reliability for clients, and create a brand that truly values operational excellence. With Saudi Vision 2030 paving the way for modernization, I saw a great opportunity to contribute and grow within this evolving landscape.

How did you start your business?

The early days were full of challenges, but I navigated them by leveraging my expertise in Courier Parcel Express, freight forwarding, forming strategic partnerships, and refining Ship966's branding. Misk Foundation played a key role, providing guidance, support, and opportunities to scale our vision into a thriving business. Their backing, coupled with my focus on precision in logistics, helped establish trust with clients and ensure smooth operations. Transitioning from JetParcel to Ship966 required careful messaging to ensure continuity while highlighting the evolution of our services.
