Dariush bases his work with Googol partially on his experience as an intrapreneur (intra-organizational entrepreneur) at various large companies prior to founding googol. He is the principal business architect within Googol, assisting a host of corporations in developing their businesses strategically, tactically and action-oriented. He thrives on creating, accelerating and realizing value and growth. Dariush holds a bachelor of science (bsc) from the university of Uppsala and a business administration and economics degree, with advanced studies in accounting from the university of Stockholm. Before founding Googol, Dariush worked in various positions within the Kinnevik group mostly on the european and american markets within finance and telecommunications. He has also worked within the international banking and finance sector. Dariush founded his first company in 1988 and has since co-founded and advised numerous company start-ups and change-processes in blue-chips. Dariush also lectures about innovation management and entrepreneurship and has been active at institutions such as Tokyo institute of technology (tito), KTH executive school, Stockholm school of entrepreneurship and IHM business school. My passion, apart from the growth and innovation business, is of course firstly my family. I also find great interest in contemporary art, architecture and our nature. I love spending time in the forest, jungle, hillsides or even 80 feet below the surface free-diving. To me, compassion and inspiration have become lead words. I strongly believe in leadership beyond personal winnings.
