Hi I’m Lee Nazari,
Founder and CEO of SWOOPE & SWOOPOS.
Born just outside Birmingham in the UK, I have lived and breathed the retail and hospitality industry since the age of 12.
My father moved to the UK from Iran in the late 70s, without speaking a word of English. He worked his way up from pot-wash to business owner and at the age of 12 I started helping in his restaurants at the weekends.
From running multiple leisure venues I made the jump into the financial sector and spent several years at Morgan & Stanley. Following this, I moved into daily deals and worked alongside global brands like Groupon, Living Social and Wowcher. Most recently I worked as a consultant for a mobile wallet technology firm.
