Implementing his passion and visionary leadership skills, he produces extraordinary results in record time. Behnam brings his broad experience and successful track record to each project, whether it involves personal development, implementing customer-focused programs, integrating technologies, redesigning operational core processes, or delivering strategic initiatives. Before designing Primeco Education technology, Behnam led educational programs and later managed operations for a global education organization based in two major US cities. During these seven years, Behnam worked personally with tens of thousands of participants. He was accountable for expanding customer participation, training program leaders, increasing sales and improving the finance department’s efficiency and management of the operations for the staff and their team of over 400 volunteers, who together served an annual client base of over 10,000. Dr. Bakhshandeh designed Primeco Education technology in 2001. Since then, he and his team members have helped countless businesses and individuals achieve their goals and transform their thinking.
