In my dual roles as CEO and CFO, I managed both operations and finance, excelling in project management, strategic budgeting, and organizational growth., Leveraging my experience as a CFO in Iran, I chose to pivot into finance upon arriving in Canada. I began my studies with an Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Finance at Seneca College, followed by further specialization in finance and business economics at York University, aiming to deepen my expertise, especially in capital markets. Since then, I have developed robust expertise in diverse trading strategies across Forex, Stocks, Indices, and Cryptocurrencies.
