Meet Behnam Hejazei
With an academic background in clinical psychology and business, Behnam Hejazei combines knowledge from both fields with an interest in analytical thinking and strategic problem-solving. Originally from Iran, he is currently pursuing an MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Wittenborg.
“I chose this programme because of its focus on practical business management and international orientation. The Netherlands is known for its innovative and inclusive approach to education and business, and Wittenborg's multicultural environment aligns with my ambition to build a global career in business consulting,” he says.
Behnam holds an MSc in Clinical Psychology and an Executive MBA Certification, and has worked as a Business Consultant and Process Optimisation Specialist. His experience in restructuring workflows and improving organisational efficiency has equipped him with practical knowledge in areas such as change management and strategic planning.
At Wittenborg, he has further honed his skills in leadership, data-driven decision-making and project management. “The programme’s international environment and practical learning have helped me develop critical skills in strategy, operations and leadership,” he says. “This journey has broadened my perspective and equipped me with the tools and confidence needed to tackle complex business challenges in a global context.”
Behnam’s ability to adapt quickly to new responsibilities is a consistent strength. When introduced to unfamiliar project management software during a consulting project, he swiftly acquired the necessary knowledge, trained his team and successfully implemented the tool into the company’s workflow – all within a week. This kind of agile response reflects his broader approach to problem-solving: strategic, proactive and results-oriented.
Looking ahead, Behnam is aiming for a career in management consulting, operations strategy or organisational transformation. He is particularly interested in helping companies streamline processes, strengthen decision-making frameworks and drive sustainable growth. “I am looking for a position where I can apply my expertise in streamlining processes, enhancing decision-making frameworks and driving impactful change,” he emphasises.
Fluent in Persian and English, Behnam is a strong communicator and team player who thrives in multicultural settings. His friends describe him as reliable, insightful and supportive.
