Hello, Amir here. I'm Project & Product Manager by trade but currently working for iflix helping them expand into new fun & exciting markets around the world.
I'm from London (UK) but currently based out of SG (even if I spend very little time there) after having spent 3 years in Malaysia working for Lazada and Nova Founders
My real strength lies in being able to understand both the client's needs from a business perspective and the constraints or issues that arise from a tech/development point of view.
This makes me the interface that allows the communication between the worlds that don't necessarily understand each other.
Responsible for driving the effort to open iflix internationally in Africa & MENA.
