Ziad is the founder of TI Capital, which he established in 1997 in Los Angeles, California.

Prior to founding TI Capital, as a third generation “oil man”, Ziad primary focus was on structuring oil ventures, successfully transforming a vertically integrated oil company in a globally diversified holding company. In the early 2000s, during the early stages of TI Capital, Ziad simultaneously held a position as the director of a public U.S. midstream oil and gas company, where he headed overseas expansion with deals in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Ziad holds a BA in business and a BS in political science from Pepperdine University (89’, 90’) and received an MBA from Pepperdine’s prestigious President and Key Executive program.

Outside of family and work, the activity he has been most proud of throughout his lifetime is his storied racing career, spanning from rallying to GT3 circuit racing, which he considers a motivational tool and a necessary breakaway.
