Get to Know Me Better

I hold a Ph.D. in Strategic Management and have spent several years working as a business analyst and management consultant. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with leading companies and organizations, focusing on strategy design, market analysis, process optimization, and digital transformation. Beyond my professional life, I am deeply passionate about learning, teaching, and sharing knowledge with others. My interests also extend to innovation, technology, and exploring opportunities that create real impact in business and society. This combination of academic expertise, practical experience, and curiosity has shaped me into who I am today.

My Journey So Far...

My academic and professional journey began in engineering, where I spent years immersed in mathematics, physics, and problem-solving. During my undergraduate studies, I even taught advanced subjects to peers and senior students—a testament to how deeply I engaged with technical disciplines. This background not only gave me strong analytical skills but also shaped the way I approach challenges: with structure, logic, and persistence.

As I explored programming and algorithms, I realized that my true passion did not lie in engineering itself. A turning point came when I transitioned into business and management during my master’s studies. Leveraging my quantitative foundation, I discovered how much I enjoyed applying mathematics, statistics, and data-driven approaches to business challenges. From the very first semester, I was entrusted with an office at the university and actively involved in consulting and research projects.

Two remarkable mentors played pivotal roles in shaping my path. One, a highly experienced professor with deep knowledge of Iranian organizations, introduced me to real-world business problems and practical consulting projects. The other, an internationally recognized academic with teaching experience across Europe and Asia, exposed me to global perspectives and research opportunities abroad. This unique combination gave me both local insight and international exposure, broadening my vision far beyond the classroom.

Over time, I built a diverse portfolio of projects—ranging from organizational diagnostics and performance improvement to market research, sales forecasting, and data-driven strategy. Unlike traditional management approaches that often rely heavily on surveys and qualitative methods, I focused on extracting insights from organizational databases and validated data sources. This methodological shift helped me deliver innovative, rigorous, and impactful results, which quickly earned recognition from professors, colleagues, and clients.

My competitive edge lies in blending engineering-style quantitative analysis with strategic business thinking. Through projects in performance evaluation, product analysis, customer satisfaction, and predictive modeling, I have seen firsthand how data, when properly harnessed, can create clarity and drive growth.

Yet, despite my achievements, I see myself as a lifelong learner. Business analysis and strategic management are complex fields with endless opportunities to improve. What excites me most is the potential to contribute to businesses in meaningful ways—helping them grow sustainably, create jobs, and support the livelihoods of countless individuals. For me, business is not just about profit; it carries a deeper sense of purpose and responsibility.

This belief continues to drive my academic research, consulting work, and passion for connecting with organizations around the world.
