Tell us about yourself
I have spent 22 years helping business leaders grow. Being a community builder and collaborator at heart, I have enjoyed bringing people together to learn, interact and solve complex challenges related to their business strategy.
I began my career by building an interface between the academic world and the business world to help create job opportunities for students and solve the unemployment gap. I have worked with leading companies in various functions such as training, consulting, research, sales, and program management, where I was responsible for hiring, mentoring teams, and driving revenue growth from global engagements.
Having worked in and traveled to more than 30 countries, I have spent a large amount of time learning about different behaviors, cultures, and ethnicities and noticed visible inequalities in the way people’s felt and treated one another. The zeal to impact people’s lives led me to embark on a mission to build a bias-free business world, wherein I founded a global engagement called DIFEST and runs it as a series of intimate dialogues between DEIB, HR, and ESG leaders. A recipient of 3 awards, I have a strong business acumen with a vision to see a world with fair opportunities for all. I am currently based in Toronto with my wife and twins, a boy and a girl.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
One of my biggest accomplishments as a business owner is to bring the world together through relevant and up-to-date learning experiences that help leaders build a bias-free culture.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
To stay charged every single so that you can keep others motivated.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Put your family and loved ones ahead of your business.
- Find your purpose before starting your business.
- Work to make a difference to others and not for money.
