Chair Profile
‘As an executive and business mentor, I see my role as a thoughtful agitator—someone who dares to challenge conventional thinking, disrupts complacency, and ignite powerful conversations. I don’t just support leaders; I help them to think deeper, question assumptions, and make bold decisions that drive real growth. When we lean into discomfort and embrace courageous choices, we unlock new possibilities and lead with greater impact.’
