Biography
Mirkhan was born in 1981 to a French-Iranian family. According to her, her parents belonged to the generation that had placed hope in the 1978–79 revolution but from whom, in her words, "the revolution was stolen". She completed a bachelor's degree in international economics and finance from the Sorbonne University and a master's degree in energy and environmental economics and policy at IFP School and the CEA (Nuclear Energy Center).
Mirkhan has more than 15 years of experience as a management and strategy consultant, with expertise spanning Europe and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Her professional background includes work in sectors such as oil and gas, nuclear energy, transportation, and automotive industries.
In 2023, she joined UANI as a strategic consultant for European policy. According to a UANI press release, she and Maryam Banihashemi "have worked in Iran and across Europe, with first-hand experience in dealing with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and Iran's automotive and power sectors", serving as strategic consultants for European policy and contributing to UANI's business risk unit.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french-Iranian strategist and international consultant” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140351329. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1981, 1978 and 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
