About Me
Your Growth
is my Passion
A Co-Active Coach, a certified mBIT coach, an NLP practitioner, a mentor, a keynote speaker, and investment specialist who strongly endorses the fact that inspiring people should be one of the main core values of a successful individual. The more you inspire people, the more laurels you will achieve in your life, and the satisfaction is incredible.
With more than 25 years of experience working in different continents and learning every day, my realization is my Network is my Net Worth. I have expanded and achieved unprecedented results by using referral marketing and effective networking skills with highly skilled and influential individuals.
Coming from a family background of entrepreneurs, I hold pivotal roles in SMC (a regionally recognized brand in securities and commodities), Business Network International - BNI (the world's largest networking group present in more than 76 countries), and Corporate Connections, an organization that connects leaders across the world and empowers them to create opportunities and meaningful change.
I believe that learning is a lifelong process, and I always try to use my learnings to help others grow. I firmly believe – Success is not about what I have; it’s all about who remembers me in their success stories.
