Umber Ahmad Biography

Umber Ahmad grew up traveling around the world, belonging simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. Her family is from Pakistan and she grew up in a town in northern Michigan filled with first-generation Finns and Swedes. The magic of spices was first taught to her in Pakistan, where as a very young girl she learned that food had a language all its own.

After studying genetics and business, Ahmad spent much of her career in finance. She was the subject of “Risk|Reward”, a critically acclaimed 2002 TriBeCa Film Festival-premiered documentary film about women on Wall Street.

Ahmad is a founding Managing Director of a boutique investment advisory firm that specializes in business development throughout MENA, Europe and Asia. In 2014 Ahmad found with the creation of the bakery the perfect intersection of all her expertise. By combining her business acumen, science education, and cultural knowledge, she is creating a food story like no other.

As the first Colicchio Discovery brand, Ahmad is building the next great culinary experience with Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery. Ahmad and her work with Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery have been featured in myriad publications, including The New York Times, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, and more.
