MARIETTA, GA, November 17, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Shahrokh "Mike" Vahdat has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Vahdat is the founder of Ambiance Atlanta, a company he established in 2009. Under his leadership, Ambiance Atlanta has become recognized for its expertise in additions, rebuilding, design and remodeling, with custom new construction comprising approximately 10% of its projects. Specializing in mid- to high-end spaces, Ambiance Atlanta typically undertakes projects ranging from $50,000 to $500,000. Mr. Vahdat contracts services and employs a team of superintendents to oversee job sites, supported by an office staff responsible for administrative functions. He remains deeply involved in every project, personally overseeing a majority of the design work and creative solutions. His hands-on approach and commitment to delivering bespoke spaces tailored to client needs have been instrumental in the company's growth. Notably, Mr. Vahdat founded Ambiance Atlanta with a budget of $20,000 and successfully grew it to generate over $4 million in sales at its peak, a milestone he regards as his most significant professional achievement.

Prior to founding Ambiance Atlanta, Mr. Vahdat served as the president of Aire Serv Heating and Air Conditioning from 2013 to 2015. In this capacity, he managed operations and guided the company through a period of growth and service expansion within the heating and air conditioning sector. From 1999 to 2009, Mr. Vahdat was the president of MV Enterprises Inc., a construction company specializing in speculative and custom home construction. During this decade-long tenure, he developed a reputation for quality workmanship and innovative problem-solving for both residential and commercial clients.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Vahdat held the position of vice president of engineering at BMAT for approximately three years. In this executive role, he was responsible for overseeing factory remodels and expansions, demonstrating his ability to manage large-scale industrial projects. Additionally, Mr. Vahdat conducted postgraduate research while employed at Ingersoll Rand. He collaborated on research initiatives between the Georgia Institute of Technology and The Ohio State University, enhancing his expertise and contributing to advancements in engineering applications.

Mr. Vahdat's academic background has played a pivotal role in shaping his career trajectory.
