Proudest Mentor Moment
"One of my most meaningful outcomes as a mentor has been guiding co-founders and shareholders through recalibration and alignment in a founder-friendly yet fair and ethically grounded way. I’ve also supported founders in evolving their leadership mindset by moving them away from rigid, textbook-driven practices toward approaches tailored to their context and strengths."
