About
A little about me
I'm Sadik Arzumand (Sadik Arzumand Ahmad), a Bangladeshi professional who has called South Korea home for more than ten years. I came to Korea as a student, and I have studied, worked and built communities here ever since. What I enjoy most is connecting people, businesses and opportunities across borders.
I earned my BBA at Kyungdong University (2016–2020) and my MBA in International Business at Ajou University's Graduate School of International Studies (2020–2023). I am now a PhD researcher in Business Administration at Jeonbuk National University. Since July 2026 I have been an Assistant Professor with the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Kyungbuk College. I am also a Senior Researcher and AI Policy Analyst at the SPAIGI Institute, where I work on AI governance, risk assessment and policy impact analysis.
