my journey
Every person faces a defining moment that shapes who they become. For me, it was hitting rock bottom—losing my health, my job, and my identity all at once.
What seemed like an insurmountable challenge turned into an opportunity to rebuild, reimagine, and rediscover my purpose.
Growing up, I was the odd kid out—the one wearing a grey shirt on picture day while everyone else wore white.
My struggles with fitting in, compounded by a rigid education system that didn’t suit my learning style, taught me the power of resilience and self-directed learning.
Despite the setbacks, I developed an insatiable curiosity, an ability to connect disparate ideas, and a passion for creating innovative solutions.
These traits propelled me into a unique career journey, where I’ve done every role in a company, launched innovative products, driven transformative change, and advised some of the world’s largest companies and cities.
This journey gave me a 360-degree perspective across multiple industries and took me to a major financial institution in New York.
However, the relentless drive for perfection came at a cost, leading to a health crisis that forced me to pause and reassess my priorities.
In the stillness that followed, I discovered my greatest strength: the ability to learn, adapt, and apply knowledge in unconventional ways to spot connections and opportunities most would miss.
This mindset allowed me to rebuild not just my health but also my career, creating opportunities to speak globally, shape the future, and help others be successful.
Today, I leverage my real world diverse experiences to help individuals and organizations unlock their potential—elevating data to an asset, shaping the roles of people, AI, and future technology, and guiding meaningful change.
My mission is to create a lasting impact by inspiring others to think differently, cut through the noise, and leave the world better than we found it.
