Founding Story
Hamid R. Moghadam is a fiercely visionary Iranian-American real estate tycoon, highly strategic corporate architect, and the profoundly influential CEO and co-founder fundamentally responsible for architecting the massively dominant Prologis industrial real estate empire. Operating as an incredibly ambitious young entrepreneur who launched AMB Property Corporation in 1983, Moghadam aggressively recognized the massive, highly lucrative potential of deeply consolidating highly fragmented industrial warehouses near massive global transit hubs. Following AMB's massive 2011 blockbuster merger with ProLogis, he relentlessly spearheaded the incredibly aggressive global expansion of the unified company. By fiercely integrating highly advanced digital supply chain logistics with massive physical real estate assets, his absolutely rigorous strategic leadership completely revolutionized global e-commerce fulfillment, permanently establishing Prologis as an absolute multi-billion dollar monopoly.
