I didn’t become a leader by copying what I saw, I became one by learning what not to do. Through experience with different leaders and companies, I witnessed mistakes, missed opportunities, and the impact poor leadership has on people. I carried those lessons with me. They sharpened my standards, built my resilience, and fueled my hunger to lead differently. Today, my strength comes from those experiences, and my purpose is clear: to create an environment where people are supported, challenged, and empowered to grow.
