Introduction: Rashid F Kassim is the Founder, Chairman & CEO of Kassim Co. LLC; an American procurement & brokerage firm that specializes in commodities, construction, and pharmaceuticals. Kassim also serves as Chief Operating Officer at the Arab Construction & Contracting Company, a leading Middle Eastern firm involved in civil, electromechanical sewage & water scopes.
Education Kassim was born on November 6th 2004 and attended The International Academy of Amman from 2008 to 2022. He later pursued his higher education in Loyola Marymount University and majored in political science.
Experience Rashid Kassim started working at his family's construction company at the young age of 16 in 2020 as a data analyst. Later that year, he was assigned a procurement project for the Royal Court of Jordan where he procured roller shutters for HRH King Abdullah II's Palace in Aqaba Province.
After fulfilling his role as procurement officer, he was promoted to senior procurement officer and consulted on various procurement projects spanning from theaters, to mansions & palaces, to 5 star hotels.
He was later assumed the role of Chief Procurement Officer where he oversaw ACCC's procurement process entirely and implemented new methods and techniques which resulted in the development of long-term supplier partnerships & cost efficiency.
Later on, he decided to found his own company called the Arab Procurement Consultancy Group which specialized in construction procurement. The company failed after a few months due to its inability to penetrate the market.
Years later, Kassim founded Kassim Co a newer version of APCG. With his added experience, he was able to penetrate the market and position Kassim Co as a disruptive & innovative procurement company in the construction industry. After months of solely operating in construction, Rashid introduced a newfound passion as a part of the company's expanded services: commodity procurement & pharmaceutical brokerage.
Today the company represents leaders in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and has helped its clients create new partnerships and elevate their sales, allowing them to expand in to new geographies and utilize untapped markets.
Hobbies Kassim was an avid horse back rider competing in showjumping on the national level & endurance on the international level. He represented his country Jordan in the 2022 Fursan Cup in Saudi Arabia alongside 4 elite riders on the Royal Jordanian National Team.
Kassim enjoys competing in amateur golf tournaments and has a handicap of 26. Much like his work, he believes "slow and consistent progress beats effortless talent".
