Ammar Alshamma: A Legacy of Business, Innovation, and Resilience
For Ammar Alshamma, entrepreneurship is more than a profession; it’s a legacy that spans three generations. An accomplished engineer with an Innovation MBA in Finance, Alshamma is a seasoned business owner who has successfully upheld his family’s storied enterprise while
also forging his own path in the financial sector.
A Business Legacy Spanning Nearly a Century
The Alshamma family’s business was established in 1935 by Ammar’s grandfather. Over the decades, it was nurtured by his father and elder brother before ultimately being passed down to
him. His father, after building a strong reputation for the family business, went on to found an insurance company, while his brother pursued his ambitions by establishing an independent
financial institution and owning a commercial bank.
Ammar Alshamma, however, took a different route—blending traditional commerce with moderne-commerce. Since 2010, he has operated an Amazon store, later expanding to Sears.com and, in 2021, adding eBay to his business portfolio. His enterprise specializes in high-quality household ware, home accents, gifts, kitchenware, porcelain ware, stainless steel products, and decorative items, all offered at fair prices with exceptional customer service.
A Career in Finance and Corporate Leadership
Before fully dedicating himself to the family business, Alshamma built an extensive career in the
financial sector. He worked for four major financial institutions, rising through the ranks to serve
as Assistant Vice President and Senior IL Manager. His experience in sales, trade, imports,
customer service, project management, and finance spans over 35 years, making him a
formidable figure in both business and financial industries.
A Battle Against COVID-19 and a Triumphant Return
In 2020, Alshamma faced an unexpected challenge that would change the course of his life.
After contracting a severe case of COVID-19, he fell into a coma for 63 days and spent 100
days in the hospital, followed by a year of rehabilitation. The battle against the virus was
arduous, but his resilience saw him through.
Emerging as a survivor, Alshamma was determined to reclaim his role as a business leader. He
reopened his store, picking up where he left off and ensuring that the legacy of his family’s
enterprise would not only continue but thrive.
A Commitment to Excellence
With a deep understanding of finance, commerce, and customer service, Alshamma brings
unparalleled expertise to his business. His mission remains clear: to provide distinctive, high-quality products to customers while upholding the values that have defined his family’s business for nearly a century. Through innovation, dedication, and an unyielding spirit, Ammar Alshamma continues to make
his mark in the world of business, proving that resilience and determination are just as crucial as
entrepreneurial acumen in achieving success.
