About Dr. Liyana Aziz
Building Global Businesses. Creating Global Opportunities.
Dr. Liyana Aziz is an internationally experienced entrepreneur, business strategist, and Co-founder & CEO of Amazon Elite Sellers – South Asia, recognized for her extensive experience in building and scaling businesses across global markets.
Since 2010, Dr. Liyana Aziz has been at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital and international commerce landscape. What began as an entrepreneurial ambition developed into a global business journey spanning 7+ international markets, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates.
With hands-on experience across both physical and digital commerce, she has built businesses from the ground up and navigated the complexities of international trade, e-commerce, sales, operations, market expansion, and business development.
£150M+ in Business Sales
One of the defining milestones of Dr. Liyana Aziz’s entrepreneurial journey is the generation of more than £150 million in cumulative sales through the businesses she built and operated.
This achievement represents years of direct commercial experience—not simply theoretical knowledge. From entering international markets to developing customers, managing operations, building sales systems, and scaling businesses, Dr. Liyana Aziz has experienced the complete entrepreneurial journey firsthand.
Her international exposure has given her a rare understanding of what it takes to build a business that can operate beyond borders and compete in some of the world’s most demanding markets.
From Building Businesses to Building Entrepreneurs
After years of building her own international business portfolio, Dr. Liyana Aziz joined Amazon Elite Sellers – South Asia with a much larger purpose.
Her objective was clear:
To make international business knowledge accessible to the next generation of South Asian entrepreneurs.
As Co-founder & CEO, she plays a strategic role in shaping the organization’s vision, educational direction, international expansion, and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Her focus extends beyond teaching individuals how to sell products online. She aims to help entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of global business—how international markets operate, how businesses are structured, how opportunities are identified, and how sustainable companies can be built for long-term growth.
A Global Mindset
Having personally operated across multiple international markets, Dr. Liyana Aziz brings a truly global perspective to entrepreneurship.
Her experience across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, UAE, and other international markets has shaped a philosophy centered around one fundamental belief:
“Your geography should never define the size of your ambition.”
She believes South Asian entrepreneurs possess enormous potential, but that potential can only be unlocked when they gain access to the right knowledge, international exposure, technology, mentorship, and opportunities.
This belief became one of the driving forces behind her work with Amazon Elite Sellers – South Asia.
The Mission Ahead
Today, Dr. Liyana Aziz is focused on building more than an education platform. She is helping develop an ecosystem designed to connect South Asian talent with the global digital economy.
Her long-term vision is to empower entrepreneurs to move beyond traditional employment and local markets and become global business owners, exporters, digital entrepreneurs, and creators of international wealth.
Through strategic leadership, international business experience, and a commitment to entrepreneurial education, she continues to work toward a future where individuals from South Asia can build companies that serve customers around the world.
Her Philosophy
“Build globally. Think beyond borders. Create value that lasts.”
For Dr. Liyana Aziz, entrepreneurship is not simply about generating revenue.
It is about creating freedom, building institutions, opening doors for others, and creating economic opportunities that extend far beyond one individual.
Today, her journey continues with a larger ambition:
To help build a generation of globally competitive entrepreneurs from South Asia—one business, one entrepreneur, and one opportunity at a time.
