What were your initial years of growing up like? Tell us about your life before starting your corporate journey/venture/initiative.
I was helping my husband.
Every industry that is now a large-scale, top-notch business once started as a small idea in the minds of entrepreneurs. What was that idea or motivation that made you start your business/initiative? What motivated you within to say, “YES, go for it!”?
I started my career formally after my husband suffered a serious heart condition. I supported him intellectually and then took over lean management as a Board Member. Soon, I transformed the business culture into a smarter and more agile environment, intelligently digitized with cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
