WHAT DRIVES ME:
Well, I was born in Tanzania and raised between Massachusetts and Ontario, I witnessed firsthand the systemic barriers individuals from diverse communities face in advancing their careers. My parents, immigrants of African descent, encountered significant challenges in workplaces that lacked equitable leadership. Their perseverance inspired my drive to lead and influence systemic change at the highest levels.

As a leader, I am committed to fostering cultures of collaboration, respect, and forward-thinking innovation. My mission is to drive strategic impact that positions organizations to excel in a rapidly evolving world while creating sustainable, meaningful change that benefits all stakeholders. This vision has defined my leadership approach and guides my work to build resilient, inclusive organizations across different industries.​
