Gartner Expert

I believe in re-imagination over repetition. It takes audacity and courage to be different, and that’s what brings curiosity, creativity and growth to our businesses.

AI and machines are part of the future, which makes focusing our energy on becoming better humans critical. We’re meant to be connected, not separated, and when the masks come off, we thrive. While my research and development experience is valuable, my business foresight and ability to execute at scale across strategy, technology, and innovation come from real-world leadership roles at Toyota, Oracle, Ultimate Software, and as a startup founder. These experiences give me the superpower to see future signals, spot trends, and connect the dots of details that most overlook.

Over my two-decade professional journey, I’ve invested countless hours fostering connections with hundreds of dynamic teams globally, from innovative startups and midsize growth companies to complex Fortune 500 organizations, collaborating with individuals across diverse leadership levels and industries.

My journey from escaping a war, facing the adversities of being an immigrant, to rising as a distinguished voice in business and technology embodies the essence of what is possible with bravery, grit, and curiosity.

📙 In my best-selling book Unmask Your Brilliance - Thriving in Workplaces Designed to Hide You, I unfold a powerful journey, offering an "insider's" perspective on the truth of what happens behind closed doors, how decisions are made, workplace pressures for conformity, and false narratives, while providing practical tools to become a conscious leader, with no title required.
