What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values data-driven decision-making.

I am a resilient and dedicated professional with over five years of expertise in strategic planning and economic analysis. Currently, I serve as a Lead Economist at Baku International Sea Trade Port CJSC, where I have developed technical proficiency and practical insights tailored to dynamic business environments. My career has enabled me to cultivate comprehensive expertise across finance, accounting, and statistical analysis, driven by a commitment to data-informed decision-making and organizational growth.

In my role, I monitor and evaluate departmental budget expenditures, set up and optimize tariffs, and address operational and financial inquiries from stakeholders and government agencies. I collaborate on potential investment initiatives, conducting feasibility studies and financial modeling. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration and an MBA with a major in Accounting, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Internal Fiscal Policy and State Finance.
