About Us - Ashavan

Why Ashavan

We're dedicated to helping people live their best lives

Ashavan is an ancient Avestan word that roughly translates to "a righteous or just person." While there is no formula for a perfect human being, we believe we empower people all over the world to be healthier, wealthier, better educated, and more successful. We do this by offering products and services that make the best choice the easiest one.

We're guided by our core qualities and core actions

Many companies have core values, but after coming up with a few of our own, something was missing. We quickly recognized that we needed to break it down. Your values aren’t just words; they are who you are and what you do. We've defined a set of core qualities and core actions to guide us. Much like adjectives and verbs in a sentence, our core qualities describe our work and our core actions inform how we work.

Core qualities: clarity, certainty, expertise, and ease

Core actions: listen, focus, excel, and finish

Founder and CEO

Cyrus Bahrassa is the Founder and CEO of Ashavan. Cyrus began his career in the healthcare IT industry at Epic, where he led technical implementations at academic and community health systems for seven years. He moved on to a healthcare integration software company and led a team that enabled the success of every department by arming them with the knowledge of how to integrate with EHRs and other vendors. But he sought a way to make a greater impact on the world and started Ashavan to achieve that goal.

In his free time, you can find Cyrus reading a good book, exploring hiking trails, volunteering in the community, or discussing politics and current events.
