ABOUT RON ABBOUD
I’ve always believed in thinking big and stepping outside my comfort zone to create a meaningful life filled with growth, challenge, and adventure. I founded Trade Development Strategies Inc. in the early ’90s while living in Costa Rica, driven by a vision to combine my passion for IT and global connection into a business that delivers real value.Now 30 years strong, TDS serves clients in over 30 countries, helping multivendor service providers, resellers, and brokers source quality enterprise IT hardware quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively. We specialize in hard-to-find parts from IBM, Lenovo, HPE, NCR, Cisco, and more — and we move fast, offering same-day shipping, sourcing, and high-touch support.We’re also building internal tools and leveraging AI to improve our response times, pricing, and service — while expanding into e-waste recycling and IT asset recovery. We not only supply — we buy back excess inventory and help our clients extract value from aging infrastructure.When I’m not deep in business, I’m passionate about mentorship, community leadership, and giving back through sport and development.Languages: English (native), Spanish (fluent), French (conversational)
