Because You Can.
Gas station cashier to billion dollar CEO.
Inspiring impact through resilience in the face of adversity.

Executives and leaders of companies with hundreds of millions to multi-billions in sales implementing massive growth across national and international brands.

Entrepreneurs and leaders contemplating raising capital, preparing for a successful exit or seeking advice navigating the private equity capital landscape from the point of view of a CEO who's done it.

Start-up leaders looking to scale their vision to align their rapidly growing company and to create a strategically sound trajectory to success.



It All Started With A Vision.
Born in Iran, Shirin faced the reality of her beautiful country being taken over by an oppressive regime when she was 12.
After being arrested (and eventually released) for having a book, Shirin made the difficult move to the U.S., alone.
Working at a gas station at age 17, Shirin shared with a co-worker her vision was to some day run an organization like GM.

It was this vision that guided her to becoming a very successful entrepreneur and CEO, through a career that started as a CPA, business advisor and CFO of many organizations.
Joining a small team with a big dream, Shirin oversaw the financial growth of what would become Home Franchise Concepts.



In 2015, she successfully completed a private equity partnership and as CEO she shared a VISION with over two thousand franchise owners. Through well-organized execution of this vision, the company's growth skyrocketed in the next three and half years.
From the stage and in boardrooms across the world, Shirin now works with leaders to create and implement an Authentic Vision that inspires, informs and directs substantial engagement and growth in their entire organization.
Because You Can.
