Project Manager and business development leader driving cooperative growth and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project Manager currently leading initiatives at ULU Agro, bringing a practical, results-focused approach to operations and implementation.
Previously, I served as Director of Business Development at Aqrar Tədarük və Təchizat ASC in Baku (Nov 2019–Jan 2025), where I worked across corporate strategy, forecasting, and business strategy while strengthening relationships through B2B communication, sales processes, and government relations.
I also supported agriculture-focused transformation as a National Consultant with FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan Republic (2024–2025). I helped implement “Promote Agricultural Cooperatives for Increased Market Competitiveness,” delivering training on cooperative business models, operational planning, and business plan development, and coaching selected cooperatives with international experts.
Earlier roles strengthened my execution foundation—from deputy leadership in Management Information Systems division and B2B Sales Director work to quality and compliance experience inspecting food manufacturing for ISO 9001, ISO 13000, and HACCP. I value clear stakeholder coordination, analytical problem-solving, and continuous improvement from strategy all the way to day-to-day delivery.
