Murad Shuqom

Located in Huntington Beach, California, Murad Shuqom is a thoughtful and innovative leader whose passions lie in the automotive industry. Ever since he was young, Murad can recall feeling a sense of exhilaration while watching Formula 1 races — so much so that he eventually got outside and tried racing for himself.

A strategic thinker by nature, Murad Shuqom emigrated to the United States with a single goal in mind: breaking into the industry he was unduly passionate about — motorsports. Shortly after arriving in California, Murad began his pursuit of this dream by working as a local mechanic. Even at this early point of his career, Murad’s iron-clad work ethic and unquenchable thirst for experience and knowledge shone brightly.

Given his newfound levels of experience and expertise, Murad Shuqom took the plunge into entrepreneurship and, in 2010, established his own auto export company. In this capacity, Murad had the privilege of building his organization from the ground up, finding the right employees to carry out high-level strategies, market the company, and adopt the latest practices of the automotive industry — no matter if they were technological or procedural in nature.

After four successful years running his own business, Murad Shuqom was given the opportunity to become Chief Racing Director of Dime Racing, a California-based organization that put an emphasis on automotive research and innovative technologies that originate from racing. Given how closely the goals of Murad and Dime Racing aligned, he felt compelled to take the chance.

Now, nearly five years later, Murad is thankful he took that leap of faith. After all, he is currently able to focus on the development of not only an organization, its innovations, and processes, but of its employees as well — an area of focus Murad is incredibly passionate about.
