Alireza’s passion is converting risks in challenging markets into manageable business opportunities for all partners.
This has been the core of his business over the years, as he has helped deliver solutions in South America, MENA, Central Africa, and CIS countries. With both a scientific and business background (PhD in Management) Alireza’s experience has been focused on international business development and matching since 2003.

He has made over 100 international business travels to all five continents and implemented sizeable international projects with a focus on the development of new business opportunities, thus making him an avid deal maker able to lead and navigate in a multicultural business environment.

Alireza’s expertise is in delivering results by bringing to fruition the most challenging of projects. As an international business development leader for a service provider active in the mining, healthcare, food, and real estate sectors, he was in charge of leading projects in various jurisdictions. Working in several markets with diverse cultures, different methods of negotiation, complex regulation and tariff systems, lack of systematic networking platforms, complex financing concerns, and currency issues have allowed Alireza to perfect his business and relationship skills in the most challenging of circumstances and environments.

In his free time, Alireza enjoys seasonal outdoor sports as well as reading and listening to works on psychology and philosophy of life through the Jungian approach.
