ABOUT ME: Tech-smart, business-savvy, down-to-earth. Connector of people & ideas.

I often introduce myself as someone who has failed in business several times since the age of 16, not because I am proud of my mistakes but because I value failure as a catalyst for success. I have since dedicated my life to helping others succeed.

Community, entrepreneurship and technology are at the heart of everything I do. I run a number of businesses and initiatives with a focus on providing a platform for women to harness technology for success.

I was invited by LinkedIn to be part of their LinkedIn Speaker Series and be among the 106 inspiring and innovative thinkers from around the globe. Read about it here.

  When you hear the word networking, what comes to mind? People usually associate networking with business cards, introductions, pitching, meeting people, selling yourself, referrals and finding clients. But at the heart of it, what does networking really mean?

I admit that I’m no fashionista, but unless we are lucky enough to run a business that requires zero face-to-face contact with your customers or the world, we still need to make a baseline level of effort to be smart and professional when we are out there representing our personal and business brands. The solution: beauty tricks that save time.
