Ahmad Meradji

President & CEO, BookLogix

Ahmad Meradji has over 25 years of experience in publishing and on-demand printing.

Born in Iran, Ahmad came to the United States to attend college in Boston, receiving an architectural degree. He later found himself working in the print industry, taking a position with Xerox in the ‘80s. He obtained his Masters and was a senior manager with Xerox. He was involved in setting up the first digital book publishing and on-demand printing models at Xerox, later serving as a consultant in the publishing industry. 

In 2003, Ahmad accepted a position as Sr. Vice President with RSM McGladrey, an H&R Block Company. In 2007, Ahmad fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening his own business, co-founding Apex Book Manufacturing. As Apex grew, Ahmad and his business partner, Akash Mangru, saw a growing need for a resource for authors who wanted to self-publish their books, and BookLogix was created.

Ahmad is passionate about helping authors publish their work, and sharing his extensive knowledge of self-publishing and on-demand printing. He is a frequent public speaker on the topic of self-publishing, sharing his insights at a number of universities, conferences, and community events.
