Bio
Haniyeh Habibollahi
I used to report to Mr. Arash Bakhshi for two years in a FMCG start up. In those years, I found him not only very smart, passionate, hardworking and proactive but also very well-hearted. His ability to work in extreme work pressure and make the best possible decision was always inspiring. In fact, he expanded the business literally from nothing in a very short time despite the adverse circumstances and challenges in Iran business. His willingness to learn and eagerness to teach employees is exemplary and something to be desired in any senior professional. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he responded thoroughly right away, even he followed up later to make sure my problem had been solved. He left a significant mark on my working style as a junior staff. I would like to show my appreciation since if I had not worked with Mr. Bakhshi, my further achievements would not have been possible. He is a valuable asset to the company and every organization would be so lucky to have him as their senior manager.

I met Arash at Solico Group and later at IFFCO. As Managing Director he steered IFFCO Iran through difficult and turbulent times which were caused by macrofactors outside his reach. Arash is a born crisis manager who is able to lead his team and his company successfully, managing daily challenges, keeping the team motivated and the shareholders on board, while never loosing sight of the strategic end game and the big picture. He has been highly successful at IFFCO where he assembled a very capable team, designed a winning strategy and skillfully managed daily business. I wish Arash success in his future endeavours and I dearly recommend him to every company which seeks to enlist the services of a highly capably and experienced general manager.
