For more than two decades, I have partnered with leaders across financial institutions and technology companies, helping them strengthen leadership capability and navigate increasingly complex business environments.
My career has taken me from Tehran to San Francisco, London, New York, and Mexico City. Each chapter exposed me to different industries, cultures, leadership challenges, and ways of thinking—experiences that continue to shape how I advise leaders today.
Over two decades, I've learned one lesson: technical expertise alone doesn't determine how far a leader goes. How you communicate under pressure, make decisions in uncertain environments, build trust, and lead others through complexity often matters just as much.
My career spans strategy and operations at Glencore, private banking at First Republic Bank, and leadership advisory at IBM, where I advised global organizations on innovation strategy, leadership development, and organizational transformation.
Over the past two decades, I have worked with organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, partnering with professionals at every level—from emerging leaders to the C-suite.
I teach executive education at the intersection of leadership, organizational change, and technological change. Grounded in the principles of Adaptive Leadership, Transformative Leadership, and Change Leadership, my programs help leaders strengthen strategic judgment and executive communication in fast-changing environments.
-
Real Organizational Challenges: Every program is built around actual workplace scenarios rather than generic, abstract case studies.
-
Direct Application: Participants work through practical business problems, applying new approaches to decision-making and collaboration that transfer directly to their day-to-day responsibilities.
-
Interactive Facilitation: I create highly engaging learning experiences that encourage leaders to challenge assumptions, ask better questions, learn from one another, and translate new ideas into immediate action.
I speak internationally at global conferences, executive forums, and leadership summits on Adaptive Leadership, Transformative Leadership, and Change Leadership.
Beyond corporate advisory, I guide early-stage founders on strategy, leadership, and growth through global incubators and accelerator programs. I also curate exclusive executive learning experiences, bringing together globally minded leaders to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and uncover new perspectives.
