Her path, her words
What did you want to be when you were a child?
As a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher, then an air hostess, and the latter interest was driven by my curiosity for travel. Later, I wanted to work in international relations at the United Nations. Life led me into the financial services industry instead, where I spent 20 years in banking before moving into consulting. At Capco, I channel that same curiosity about people and cultures into shaping client solutions that have global impact.
Which of your traits are you most proud of?
My strong work ethic, honesty, authenticity, and empathy. These qualities are the foundation of how I lead and connect with others. As women in business, we often feel pressure to adapt or compromise who we are – but I’ve learned that authenticity and empathy are not weaknesses; they are powerful leadership traits.
What do you love about your work?
Consulting gives me a blank canvas to paint all the colors of my experience and be a solutions architect. Having worked across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, I’ve seen that clients everywhere want similar things: seamless experiences, stronger connections, and smarter solutions. At Capco, I get to turn that universality into practical impact for clients.
What does success mean to you?
Success is dynamic and relative. For me, it means being the best version of myself, personally and professionally, and feeling content with where I am on my journey. For women, particularly in industries where representation is uneven, success also means creating pathways for others and lifting as we climb. I strive to do this by mentoring women at Capco and across the wider industry.
Name a fear or challenge that keeps you up at night?
The fear that I could always be doing more. It’s a restless energy that pushes me forward but also reminds me to pause and celebrate how far I’ve come. For women in leadership, this challenge can feel amplified: balancing ambition with the expectation of “having it all.” I’ve learned to reframe that fear into fuel, and to keep evolving without losing sight of the present.
In moments of self-doubt or adversity, how do you build yourself back up?
I start by grounding myself, reflecting and processing these doubts through my own inner lens. Then I seek perspectives from people who I trust. This helps me move from reacting emotionally to responding with clarity. Most importantly, I remind myself: I am enough. In an environment like Capco, where collaboration is key, it’s powerful to know you don’t have to carry everything alone; there’s strength in seeking support and sharing the journey.
Name a woman, past or present, whom you admire or look up to
My mother. She is the embodiment of strength, resilience, and grace. She taught me that dignity and perseverance can carry you through any challenge. Her adaptability and optimism inspire me every day. When I reflect on female empowerment, I think of her example – women who may never have titles or recognition, but lead through their actions and leave legacies of strength.
What does the world need more of?
The world needs more love, interconnectedness, and a shared understanding that we are all in this together. Too often, hate divides us where love could unite. Whether in the workplace or society at large, we must champion collaboration, inclusion, and collective success. Lifting others never dims our own light, it only makes it shine brighter.
