      Jun 2018 - Jul 2022

      As MCI CEO and board members decided to invest in kids and family products, I was chosen to prepare a product roadmap for the new business and build a team to design and develop the products. After a few months of research, four new products, a kid launcher, a parental control, a kid VoD, and a kid and family content rating system were developed. I built a talented team and led about 25 product managers, designers, and developers until the team and products were delivered to another unit of MCI. After negotiating and pitching new ideas to the CEO and CHRO of MCI with the help of General Manager of Education, I convinced the company to establish a new business named Hamrah Academy. Soon later, I was chosen to build a team and start-up the business as a spin-off. After a short period of time, Hamrah Academy and its 30-member team were considered as a success story in MCI. As a team lead at the Innovation and business development department in MCI, I had to manage the process of establishing new products with external contractors for Hamrahe Aval. An AI-API market-place and a MOOC were the products I was responsible for.
