About William Zebian

Professional research and business development analyst with more than 8 years analytical experience. Adept in micro & macro- economic quantitative and qualitative data analysis with distinguished financial, operational management and economic behavioral R&D skills. As a dedicated business consultant I have served on the advisory team with the SBA, the University of Virginia and University of Mary Washington’s philanthropic societies to advise small to medium organizations and especially startups on new innovative measures and ways to strategically place themselves, increasing RFP and consumer attractiveness. I’ve learned to empathise with the consumer mindset of the area being explored. To develop an intuitive understanding of what it’s like to walk in the shoes of the consumer, to ‘see’ the world through their eyes, to ‘feel’ the way they experience things; this is what separates me from the rest. I have a real passion for being of service, helping businesses identify and diagnose obstacles and provide well developed solutions. I like to believe that through experience and implementation, I am on the right track to mastering my skills of customer insight, customer service, client relationships, selling, R&D, and business operations through strategic planning and a needs based assessment forecasting, ensuring stability and growth for any given organization. When an entity knows more about the products it sells and offers It’s able relay better customer support through a well developed R&D program, R&D and consumer insight modeling is key to amazing results, impeccable customer service and support, longevity and success. Multi-lingual in English, Maltese, levantine Arabic and French.
