I'm passionate about
I’m passionate about helping people turn ideas into reality whether through mentoring entrepreneurs, advancing women’s leadership, or building innovative digital tools. I believe in creating opportunities where others can grow, thrive, and share their stories with the world.
An idea worth spreading
Empowering women through entrepreneurship, making technology more human-centric, and creating platforms where diverse voices can inspire change.
The TED story
I believe in the power of ideas to change lives. With over 21 years in technology and strategy, I’ve built ventures like MudiLabs, a tech innovation firm, and founded Reinvent:Her, a not-for-profit helping women achieve financial independence after adversity. Alongside my PhD research in Women Entrepreneurship, I mentor founders and business leaders to turn vision into reality.
For me, TEDx is about creating a platform where new voices can be heard and bold ideas can inspire change. My role is to help shine the spotlight on others, because the right story, shared at the right time, can transform a community and even the world.
People don't know I'm good at
Helping people see possibilities in themselves and their ideas that they didn’t know existed.
