About

Join my Global Community of Entrepreneurs. I have been coaching and mentoring entrepreneurs for over two decades. My passion is to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses exponentially. I am creating a global community of Entrepreneurs to learn, network and grow. In the past two decades, I worked with innumerable entrepreneurs both seasoned and aspiring, women and youth, in developed countries such as UK, USA, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Malaysia, Spain, Italy, Oman, Qatar, UAE, and KSA, and countries from less developed regions of South Asia, Far East and Africa. As an entrepreneurship ‘activator’, I facilitated entrepreneurs to embark upon their entrepreneurial journey through my Business Leadership and Business Growth Coaching. I do it through one-on-one coaching, mentoring and capacity building through organized learning and development activities. Being an academic and an experienced dean of business school, I have successfully conceptualized, designed, and conducted executive education programs for entrepreneurs in more than fifty countries worldwide. I’ve acted as consultant to national governments including the UK, Qatar, Oman, Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Honduras; multi-lateral agencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Union Higher Education Social Fund, ILO, and UN-APCTT; and myriad of entrepreneurs for developing and growing their enterprises.
