From Natia Goliadze:

I am a financial consultant and project manager with over 10 years of experience in business consulting, financial advisory, and strategic planning. I have specialized in economic and industry analysis, impact assessments, investment appraisal, and PPP project development. I have also held senior management roles for more than seven years, where I successfully led teams, developed strategic plans, and engaged with diverse stakeholders. I have actively participated in various grant-funded projects, where I advised on identifying and unlocking the growth potential of innovative, high-tech, and MSME businesses in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. I have provided consulting services on business development strategies and acted as a trainer on multiple programs in entrepreneurship, financial management, and taxation. I have also co-developed MSME-focused manuals in collaboration with international agencies and ecosystem development projects. I have led management and financial advisory services for both international and domestic clients, preparing business plans, feasibility studies, industry research, and market analyses. I am highly experienced in both desk and field research, data collection, and advanced data analysis to support strategic and evidence-based decision-making. I have built dynamic financial models for budgeting, valuation, investment appraisal, and scenario analysis across diverse industries. Beyond model development, I have acted as an investment advisor, using these analytical tools to guide investors in making well-informed decisions. I have provided strategic recommendations based on complex financial data, supporting both investors and management teams in evaluating risks, identifying opportunities, and shaping sound investment and operational strategies. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. and remain committed to expanding my knowledge and contributing to the development of the business and finance fields.
