Transformational CEO with 35+ years of leadership driving sustainable business growth across agribusiness, education, nonprofits, and service sectors.

From pioneering agro-initiatives to structuring vocational training startups and CSR-led foundations, my work bridges operational excellence with social impact. As a strategist and builder, I align corporate vision with ground-level execution. I’ve led P&L oversight, corporate governance, stakeholder engagement, fundraising, and cross-border expansion (India & China), while nurturing high-performing, values-driven teams. I'm passionate about mentoring emerging leaders, shaping policy, and creating value through partnerships that last. Let’s connect if you believe in growth with purpose.
