Riyaz Abdulla OHFC Committee Member

Riyaz has been a board member of the Olds Health Care Fundraising Committee since the summer of 2023. His commitment to healthcare advocacy began during his college years in Mangalore, India. As a charter member of the Rotaract Club of Mangalore City, he worked alongside local medical professionals to provide essential health services to a neighboring village. This project significantly shaped his understanding of community impact.


Through these formative experiences, Riyaz realized how even small contributions could dramatically enhance community well-being, leading to his deep and enduring dedication to making a meaningful difference. His career took him to Dubai for 25 years, where he led multiple companies across strategic markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Turkey, and Russia. During this time, he also participated in numerous charitable projects, notably improving educational and technological resources for rural schools in India.


Since moving to Olds, Alberta, in 2019, Riyaz has actively engaged with the local community. Together with his wife, Mona, who shares his passion for cooking, they create a warm home where family values and community service are paramount. They are proud parents of Heba, a Manual Osteopathic Therapist, and Adam, an Account Management Associate in Data Science.
