ABOUT
Amir Lodi

I have always enjoyed mathematics, analytical thinking, and logical reasoning. In my work, I am passionate about the “alchemic” transformation of data and information into meaningful, actionable insights. These insights are catalysts for innovation and organizational change which ultimately lead to customer, employee and business successes.
I chose the name of my company, “i-Qbed”, a derivative of “i3" (i-cubed), to symbolize the synergies between information, insights and innovation. This name reflects my commitment to leverage these elements to achieve impactful results for your business.
