For me, the concept of leadership goes beyond merely guiding an organisation; it is about
inspiring progress, building trust and cultivating a healthy environment for individuals. A strong
vision is crucial, as a leader must not only anticipate future challenges but also pave a path that
aligns with long-term objectives. Equally important is effective communication, ensuring that
every team member understands the mission and feels empowered to contribute. Furthermore,
emotional intelligence is fundamental in navigating complexities with empathy and fostering
robust relationships.

Integrity is another vital aspect, as trust is built through transparency and ethical decision-
making. In an ever-evolving world, adaptability and resilience are also crucial. In my view,
change is an opportunity, which encourages making informed decisions with confidence while
remaining receptive to new perspectives. Above all, leadership is about empowering others,
creating opportunities for growth, encouraging ownership and fostering innovation. These
principles define impactful leadership and drive meaningful success.

Who do you most admire and why?

I admire leaders who drive meaningful change, especially those who challenge the conventional
norms, push boundaries and strive to create opportunities for others. As an aspiring individual, I
look up to people who possess these qualities, such as innovation, empowerment and impact.
Similarly, I have great respect for individuals who have not only achieved success but have also
used their influence to transform communities and industries. I am particularly inspired by
women who break barriers and pave the way for future generations.

I am a strong supporter of empowering women in leadership, which drives me to appreciate
those who have pioneered gender equality and established platforms that enable others to
thrive. I also have great respect for visionaries in technology and finance; leaders who have
revolutionised industries by embracing innovation and adapting to change. The ability to
anticipate challenges, develop solutions and build sustainable ecosystems is something I aspire
to in my own leadership journey. Ultimately, I admire those who lead with purpose, resilience
and an unwavering dedication to creating an enduring impact on society.

Where was the last place you travelled to for work or pleasure?

The last place I visited for work and leisure was Massachusetts, where I focused on deepening
my understanding of artificial intelligence, exploring its transformative potential for the future
economy and its significant impact on business operations. Balancing this journey with my full-
time role and other responsibilities was challenging. During the trip, I successfully completed the
“Competing in the Age of AI” program at Harvard Business School.

In addition, I took the opportunity to enjoy Boston’s stunning landscape, spend quality time with
my professors and colleagues, and foster connections. The trip perfectly blended productive
discussions during the day with cherished moments with loved ones.
