Reza Vaziri, President & CEO, Anglo Asian Mining PLC (Chairman)

Reza Vaziri has been actively involved in business in the Republic of Azerbaijan since just after its independence. Since R.V.

Prior to his business career, Reza held a number of high-ranking positions in the pre-revolutionary Iranian government. He was the head of the Foreign Relations Office at the Ministry of the Imperial Court of Iran. At the time of the revolution, he was chief of the Office of Political and International affairs.

Baker IV, Reza dedicates much of his time to furthering business relations between the two countries.

Reza Vaziri's visionary leadership and dedication to fostering economic cooperation have significantly contributed to advancing trade, investment, and mutual understanding between the United States and Azerbaijan, aligning seamlessly with the USACC's mission of promoting bilateral growth and enduring partnerships.
