What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply market research, consumer insights, analytics, and cross-functional planning to build stronger brand strategies, identify growth opportunities, and create meaningful business impact.

At Padideh Shimi Paydar Industrial Group, I lead business planning and analysis initiatives that combine market research, consumer insights, and cross-functional execution to strengthen brand growth and market positioning.

I’ve developed a 3PL venture business model, built a customer-focused business plan for a new beauty retail chain, and supported export-market positioning across Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Kenya.

Previously at Paydar Hygiene Industries, I implemented ML-based demand forecasting using XGBoost and ensemble methods, improving accuracy against official budgets by 17% and helping align supply-chain decisions with market needs.

I bring together business planning, marketing strategy, competitive analysis, and data-driven decision-making. I believe data should sharpen creativity, helping brands uncover opportunities and grow meaningfully in dynamic markets.
