Arya Hosseini — Product Manager & MBA Candidate

Building thoughtful products at the intersection of strategy, technology, and people.

I'm Arya — an MBA candidate at UCLA Anderson with a mechanical engineering foundation and product management experience across real estate, healthcare, and early-stage technology ventures.

A little about me

I grew up drawn to how things work — first mechanical systems, then markets, and now products and the teams that build them. After a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, I spent several years managing product lines in manufacturing and real estate, where I learned that good strategy and clear execution matter as much as good design.

Today I'm pursuing my MBA at UCLA Anderson, working on early-stage ventures in AI-powered real estate (Alimo Architects) and 3D capture technology (OpalAi). I care about healthcare innovation, operational excellence, and building companies that pair technical rigor with real human impact.

Outside of work, I'm interested in entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and the unglamorous craft of turning rough ideas into shipped things.
