I was born in Mumbai and have called Israel home for three decades. My life has unfolded between cultures, languages, traditions and time zones—and that in-between space has become one of my greatest sources of strength and inspiration.

“The experiences of our life are supposed to make us better, not bitter.”
My professional world
Turning ideas into impact.
