Just a few bits about me.

As a trusted business advisor & coach, working with some of the world’s best known brands & leaders for the past 30+ years, I employ cognitive strategies to build successful and productive teams for organizations.
I share my expertise and abilities with global and regional leaders, government ministers, c-suite executives and decision-makers of entities like United Nations, US/Mexico Chamber of Commerce, and some of the world’s biggest brands – Google, Emirates Airlines, HSBC, Visa, Pepsi, P&G, Grant Thornton, IBM, BP, Samsung, Toshiba, American Express, Boston Scientific Group, Schneider Electric as well as popular regional ones like SASREF, ITP, Abu Dhabi Fund For Development, and more.
