About Me

You reach a point in life, as Steve Jobs famously expressed, where you can "connect the dots," and I believe I've reached that sooner than anticipated. From an early age, I absorbed invaluable sales lessons from my family's business and developed an insatiable thirst for knowledge through voracious reading. My competitive spirit emerged early, driving me to excel academically while actively participating in competitions and volunteer initiatives.

I naturally gravitated toward connecting people globally, generating new ideas, and always going the extra mile in any project to deliver high-impact results. My inquisitive nature and critical perspective on societal norms led me to roles focused on social impact, knowledge dissemination, partnerships, networking, and innovation.

These qualities drew me to academia, where I mentored young minds, helping them navigate their paths. It was during this journey that my passion for the non-profit sector deepened. For years, I dedicated myself to mentoring, securing grants, and supporting startups, social enterprises, and NGOs to thrive in competitive markets. Additionally, I spearheaded projects centered on youth development, activism, philanthropy, and crowdfunding.

A pivotal moment arrived when I went to the USA, leading me to the IXL Center, an innovation management consulting firm in Boston. There, I was mentored by leading innovation experts, working with Fortune 500 companies to help them discover strategic growth opportunities and transform their businesses. Meanwhile, I took on the challenge of leading the Global Innovation Management Institute (GIMI). Our efforts led to significant achievements: expanding to 30 countries, executing a successful merger, diversifying our product offerings, ensuring financial sustainability, and empowering countless individuals and organizations to innovate and thrive. Notably, I leveraged my expertise to spearhead social impact programs, including teaching innovation in high schools to address pressing societal challenges.

I thrive on challenges that yield tangible results and create impact beyond conventional boundaries. A firm believer in action, I am driven by turning visions into reality and empowering individuals to unlock their fullest potential. My passion lies in fostering innovation, driving meaningful change, and creating lasting social impact.
