Professional Bio
With a rich professional journey in Software and Systems Engineering, Program Management, and Leadership roles, I have been navigating the tech industry's dynamic landscape. My passion for entrepreneurship and innovation fuels my active engagement in startup accelerators and programs. As an angel investor and advisor, I champion promising tech ventures, contributing strategic insights and resources to help them disrupt markets and create value. My influence extends to advisory boards of both innovative startups and nonprofit organizations.
My commitment to fostering global leadership and empowering future generations is echoed in my involvement with nonprofit organizations in higher education and leadership development. I am also passionate about empowering women in the industry – investing in their ventures, advocating for their representation on boards, and mentoring the next generation of female leaders.
