I’m Dr. Farzad Vajihi, a global entrepreneur, economist, trader, investor, author, and philanthropist.
I began working at 15 in Iran’s automotive industry, where my family held major dealership rights for global brands like Mercedes-Benz, Goupil, Iran Khodro, Volvo, Scania, and MAN. I led multi-million dollar contracts as a contractor with the National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC) and National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).
Later, I transitioned into financial markets and earned a Ph.D. in Economics and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I’m now the founder and CEO of 17 international companies, operating across fintech, tech, consulting, and finance, with over 500 employees worldwide.
My work has been featured in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, and other top-tier international outlets, where I’ve also published economic articles.
I was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year in Iran for several years and was the first to design and mass-produce Iranian gold bullion bars. Additionally, I’ve been twice awarded internationally as a Top Global Analyst and Trader in global trading festivals.
I invest heavily in tech and fintech startups, especially those led by creative, disciplined young talents, and I run a charitable foundation that promotes youth empowerment and education.
Born in Tehran, raised in Ahvaz, and currently based in London, I hold four nationalities, am married, and a proud father to a son.
My mission is to build ethical, innovation-driven ventures and empower the next generation of creators and market leaders.
