So, who am I?

I was born and raised in Isfahan, Iran — a city of culture, curiosity, and inspiration. From a young age, I was drawn to understanding people, ideas, and the world beyond me. That drive led me to launch businesses early, complete a degree in Business Administration, and move to Germany in 2013, seeking deeper growth, personally and professionally.

Today, I’m a strategic thinker, entrepreneur, and digital transformation leader passionate about bridging technology, business, and human potential. I help organizations design secure, scalable IT strategies, with a focus on cloud, cybersecurity, and innovation.

Beyond tech, I’m a certified coach in life, business, and entrepreneurship. I work with individuals and leaders to unlock clarity, shift mindsets, and lead with purpose.

As the founder of Zohuri Group, I bring together consulting, system design, and coaching to deliver thoughtful, impact-driven solutions. Whether I’m mentoring, teaching, or building, my mission remains the same:

To help people and organizations grow with clarity, purpose, and transformation.
