Hi, I’m Rezan
A Business & Career Coach
The Short Version of 4 decades' journeyThe Story
I’ve worked for everything I’ve built, from the ground up. Fueled by a deep curiosity about the world, business, people, how things work and a big love for reading and travel.
So, I carved a path that spans industries, Hospitality, Automotive, Airlines, F&B, Tech, Advertising, and now Coaching & Consulting, working across HR, Customer Experience, Business Analytics, Performance Marketing, and Sales.
Throughout my 20 years career journey I’ve built high-performing teams delivered 8 figures in sales & revenue targets, driven customer engagement, business profitability, marketing campaigns and supported global , regional and local brands across the MENA region.
I’ve always valued honesty and kindness, and i have come to grow a deep passion for coaching and consulting which means I’ll always do my best, go beyond the ordinary way of transacting and tell you what others might hold back with compassion and care.
Working together means sharing my experiences, knowledge when needed but mostly focusing on making sure you feel empowered, clear-headed, and ready to move forward.
Outside of work, I’m a tea-loving, book-obsessed traveler who believes in lifelong learning, lifting others and building legacies. If that sounds like what you need, I’d love to connect and see where we can go from here.
Companies I Worked For
The Short Version of 4 decades journeyThe Work I Do
Through my work and this space, I empower High-potential Professionals, Founders, CEOs and entrepreneurs to unlock their full potential and turn their Career and business goals into reality.
I bring two decades of experience working with global leaders like Google, Delivery Hero, General Motors and Lexus. Along the way, I’ve advised top brands across the MENA region and beyond, gaining hands-on insights into what drives success.
I oversaw 20,000+ restaurants at TryCarriage and 3,000+ companies at Google, and I directly engaged with and advised hundreds of business leaders. Combining that with a strong academic foundation in Business, Statistics, Marketing Psychology, and Coaching, I offer a unique blend of specialized and generalist's expertise that are unique, practical and impactful.
The Short Version of 4 decades journeyWhy I Do What I Do
After 20 years of work I came to the realization that what really lights me up is seeing people shift, out of confusion, out of overwhelm, out of depression, and into clarity and momentum. There’s nothing more powerful than watching someone getting unstuck, step into their potential, flourish, not just in their career and business, but in how they show up in life.
I’ve always had a thing for business, systems, ideas, growth strategies, and what really makes people tick and drive results, but what I’ve learned over the years is this: none of it works in isolation. Behind every brand, every big leap, every win, is a human, and that human needs support, not just a strategy.
That’s where I come in, whether you’re building, rebuilding, or figuring out what’s next, I’m here to walk with you. To guide, challenge, mentor, and cheer you on, without the fluff, without the overwhelm, and always with your goals in mind.
And the best part? We won’t just get where you’re going. We’ll make the journey feel good, too.
