My Background:

I have just finished all of the required units at the computer engineering department of Sharif University of Technology; also, I am currently working full time in one of the top IT companies in the country. I have been raised in a family with entrepreneurial experiences; both my mom and my dad have degrees in management. My father (Fereidoun Ghasemzadeh) received his bachelors in Industrial engineering from Sharif University of Technology and earned his Ph.D. in Management Science and Information Systems (MSIS) at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. My father is also the Founder and CEO and of the Afranet Company, that is the first and one of the biggest privately owned Internet Companies in Iran. He is also a faculty member of the Sharif University management school, where he teaches courses such as e-commerce, business model etc. My mom also has an MBA from McMaster University and is the co-founder of Afranet and the head of its E-Commerce department.

 

My Life:

I have studied in Canada for five years and therefore, am very fluent in English. Living in a foreign country for a long time and also and travelling to many other countries across the world, has helped me to get familiar with many different cultures.  I like new challenges and learn a lot from any new challenge that I can get involved in. Most of my valuable experiences have been gained through failures in my past challenges.
