About Payam Bahrampoor

Payam Bahrampoor is a serial entrepreneur, neuroscientist, and founder of Brain CEO. He studied Applied Neuroscience at King’s College London and has built over 9 businesses.

He holds an MSc in Applied Neuroscience from King’s College London, a Global MBA from NEOMA Business School, and an MA in Educational Leadership from Brunel University.

He has authored Stuck Abroad, Engineering Wishes, Engineering Happiness, Blade, From Saturday, and Public Speaking Toolbox.

He has experienced migration twice and rebuilt his life from scratch. He combines neuroscience expertise with real entrepreneurial experience to help immigrants understand what changed, what was lost, and what can be rebuilt with better systems.

Payam Bahrampoor has experienced migration more than once, including moving to Istanbul and later to London.

Before moving to London, he had already built businesses, managed teams, developed a large public audience, written books, appeared in media, and created a strong professional identity.

London changed the context. He arrived with one suitcase and faced a reality many immigrants know well: previous status, networks, confidence, and opportunities do not always transfer to a new country.

That experience became one of the foundations of Brain CEO and its focus on rebuilding life after migration.

Payam works across applied neuroscience, educational leadership, entrepreneurship, communication, personal development, goal-setting, social capital, and immigrant self-improvement.

His work connects brain-based behaviour change with practical life design.

Through Brain CEO, these fields come together around one central question: how can immigrants rebuild attention, identity, skills, relationships, career direction, and growth after moving to a new country?

Payam Bahrampoor has founded or co-founded several ventures across education, personal development, mental health, career support, coaching, and related fields.

These include Brain CEO, Bishtar Az Yek, Daneh, Pol, Aramiya, Kar Az Ma, Candle Academy, and other business projects connected to education, growth, and human development.

This entrepreneurial background matters because Brain CEO is not only a content platform. It is built by someone who has created teams, systems, products, educational programs, and public-facing projects before bringing that experience into the immigrant rebuilding space.

Payam Bahrampoor is known as a serial entrepreneur, educator, speaker, author, translator, and neuroleadership specialist.

He has built education-based businesses, trained large audiences in communication and personal growth, published books, appeared in media, and developed a strong public presence in the personal development field.

In Brain CEO, his work is now focused on immigrants who feel stuck after moving abroad. His main contribution is turning the emotional and practical complexity of migration into clearer language, useful frameworks, and systems people can actually work with.

Payam studied Applied Neuroscience at King’s College London, and this background shapes the way he thinks about attention, stress, learning, decision-making, behaviour, and mental capacity.

These are not abstract topics for immigrants. They affect how people handle pressure, rebuild routines, make decisions, and recover a sense of control abroad.

His work does not use neuroscience as decoration. It uses brain-based thinking to explain why life abroad can feel mentally heavy, why motivation often collapses under cognitive load, and why rebuilding requires better systems, not just more effort.

You can read Stuck Abroad on Brain CEO for free.

The book is written for immigrants who feel that life stopped growing after moving to a new country and want to understand what happened beneath the surface.

Stuck Abroad explains survival mode, the immigrant plateau, cognitive load, lost social capital, and the deeper rebuilding work that begins after arrival. It is one of the clearest entry points into Payam Bahrampoor’s work and the Brain CEO approach.
