Summary
With 25+ years of experience in developing and implementing plans aligned with companies' overall objectives, leading on Governance, Strategy, and Market building initiatives and activities, I have held leadership roles at DIFC, Antler, Techstars, Amazon, Disney, Sony Pictures, and Hutchison Whampoa, across diverse markets including the US, EU, UK, APAC, MENA, and LATAM. An entrepreneur at heart, I am deeply involved in global entrepreneurial ecosystems as an investor and active mentor to startup CEOs. I have created and led multiple businesses from idea to exit across all domains including technology, licensing, e-commerce, early-stage investment, business development, operations, and content. My strengths are my results oriented mindset and being able to switch from strategy to tactical easily with a helicopter view. I thrive in fast-paced and dynamic environments, where I can solve complex challenges with flexibility, and inclusivity. My passions are Innovation, accepting and overcoming new challenges, and relentlessly bringing integrity, independence and a positive attitude in every environment. Personally very interested in youth education, development, and approaches to learning differences (particularly dyslexia).
