His vision for LSI has been a fundamentally new approach to university as an AI-native model of higher education, combining intelligent, personalised learning with the irreplaceable value of human mentorship, critical thinking and academic excellence. Paymon aspires to demonstrate that education can become more effective and inclusive through technology, empowering learners not merely to acquire knowledge, but to develop the creativity, judgement and adaptability needed to shape an AI-driven future.

Before LSI, Paymon founded Zann/WordUp, an AI-powered English learning platform that has helped over 5 million people worldwide develop their language skills through personalised learning. WordUp has received numerous international accolades, recognising its innovative approach to education, including:

Before WordUp, Paymon founded Geeks Ltd in 2007, a UK software company and AI consultancy bringing digital transformation to hundreds of organisations in the UK and beyond. As both an entrepreneur and hands-on technologist, he pioneered several award-winning innovations, including VisualSpec, M# and DiGence, transforming approaches to software development and digital transformation. Geeks' achievements include prestigious awards including:

Paymon is a Fellow of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and was recognised among the UK's IT Leaders 100 by Computing in 2026. He also holds an MSc in Object-Oriented Software Technology from the University of Brighton.

Through LSI, he hopes to extend that philosophy to the future of higher education.
