Parasto Mahourvand — Executive Consultant and Interim COO
About

A senior operator
in your corner.

I've spent my career building and scaling companies from the inside. As Co-Founder, Interims COO and VP Operations and Commercial, I've led organizations through international expansion, operational transformation, and exponential growth phases.

I work with founders and leadership teams who need more than advice. They need someone who has navigated the complexity, made the hard decisions, and delivered results under pressure.

This isn't theoretical consulting. This is experience you can deploy.
