2000
Tashkent Technical University
Enrolled at the business management faculty of Tashkent Technical University. This is where my interest began in how organizations work and why some teams thrive while others don’t.
Northern Arizona University, USA
Transferred to Northern Arizona University (USA) for Business Administration. My first international experience showed me that managing people is a system, not intuition.
WASEDA, Japan — MBA
Earned an MBA at WASEDA University in Japan, researching KAIZEN — the philosophy of small continuous improvements and respect for people that shaped my whole approach.
Procter & Gamble
Became an HR manager at Procter & Gamble, responsible for distribution across Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Here I saw world-class HR — with standards, metrics and culture.
Westminster, Tashkent
Taught HR, strategy and business management at Westminster University in Tashkent. Teaching forced me to put my own principles into simple words.
Finland — KPI research
Researched KPI systems in Finland — how to measure results so metrics motivate people instead of killing initiative.
Islamic Development Bank, Riyadh
Six years at the Islamic Development Bank in Riyadh — HR and investment. The scale of an international organization and working across cultures became my best school.
Return to Uzbekistan
Returned to Uzbekistan with international experience. Started consulting and education for local business — translating global practices into the language of our companies.
Founded Ameen Group
Founded Ameen Group — an ecosystem of education, consulting and HR technology, plus the ALLIANCE business club and IsBF. The goal: raise the level of people management in the region.
Ameen Class launch
Launched Ameen Class — an online school (LMS) with courses and lessons on HR and leadership. Knowledge became accessible to thousands of professionals regardless of city.
Ameen HR launch
Launching Ameen HR — an AI platform for managing a team: tasks, attendance, KPIs and an AI assistant in one place.
Already a big team
Today Ameen is already a large team and a whole ecosystem of products: HR, Class, AI, Recruit. What started with one person now runs as a system.
