About me
I help leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams thrive in change.
I am a social entrepreneur with 18+ years of experience turned business designer for purpose-driven business and social enterprises.
I have co-founded 2 social enterprises. The last one Love Matters scaled to 7 countries (India, Mexico, Venezuela, Egypt, Kenya, and China). Our products and services conservatively touched between 10 and 30 million. As part of that journey, I’ve grown our team from 3 to 60+ people globally and raised 3 million.
I’ve learned a lot of lessons - the hard way. I’m happy to share those experiences so that others can make new mistakes along the way.
I specialize in 3 phases: start-up, building (series A, B), and scaling.
