About

I’m an executive leader transitioning into academic research, with 7+ years of experience running complex operations in Oman and Iran. My work focuses on how organizations adapt under disruption—turning operational constraints into capability.
For a decade I engineered hybrid operating systems across design–factory–site environments, built structured trackers for risk and supply disruptions, and translated messy field reality into clean variables for decision-making. One quantified outcome: reducing material waste from ~10–15% to ~2–3%, improving direct cost performance (~10%) and reducing labor time (20–25%). I also converted offcuts into a new “object design” revenue stream—an example of operational repurposing beyond the factory floor.
For Vacancy 2842, I can immediately support systematic desk research, database construction/coding, source triangulation, and fieldwork coordination. I’m detail-driven, fast to onboard, and comfortable working across cultures and stakeholders.
