Travel and Exploration: I have lived in four different countries and enjoy travelling to new places to discover their culture, heritage and people.
Bucket List: My bucket list is a mix of soul and ambition. I want to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, take a month-long sabbatical to live in a foreign country and experience the quiet magic of Antarctica. One day, I hope to speak at a TEDx event and write a book that captures my journey – both as a leader and a lifelong traveller. I’d also love to launch a foundation to support young women entrepreneurs, and of course, take the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express across Europe.
Define Success: For me, success isn’t defined by titles or revenue – it’s about creating something that outlives you. It’s when your vision empowers people, your brand makes a cultural mark and your journey inspires others to chase their own dreams.
One Superpower You Wish You Had: If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to instantly understand and connect with people on a deeper level – knowing their true needs, desires and challenges. Connection is at the heart of everything I do and this superpower would make it even strong.
Thoughts on AI: As an entrepreneur, I see AI as a powerful tool to innovate, streamline operations and create personalised customer experiences. However, its true potential lies in using it responsibly. AI should not replace human touch, but rather enhance it.
Advice to Young Professionals: Stay curious and never stop learning. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to adapt and evolve is more important than ever. Embrace failure as a stepping stone, because every setback is an opportunity to grow. Find your passion, but also stay grounded in practicality.
