ABOUT

Xerxes Voshmgir’s interdisciplinary expertise spans organizational transformation, social sciences, traditional oriental medicine, as well as eastern and western psychology, providing him with a unique perspective on strategy and organizational development.

A transcultural bridge-builder, Xerxes seamlessly integrates diverse schools of thought, ideas, and people to innovate and devise novel solutions for contemporary and emergent challenges. He excels as an evolutionary catalyst and counselor, working closely with individuals and organizations seeking transformative change.

Born in the throes of the Iranian Revolution, this experience has endowed him with a profound understanding of revolutionary dynamics. This understanding deepened during his academic journey in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) in the UK, laying the groundwork for his future role as an evolutionary catalyst. In his late twenties, embracing the spirit of exploration, he embarked on a global journey as a “Barefoot Doctor,” a phase that enriched his life and work with diverse cultural and intellectual experiences.

In recent years, Xerxes has participated in pioneering projects, serving as a co-founder, counselor, and strategist. His multifaceted experiences make him an asset to business leaders seeking not just guidance but also inspiration to navigate the complexities of today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
