Lisa Schrijvers

Founder CEO @ The Imperfect Self

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

About

I'm the founder of The Imperfect Self – an early-stage start-up focused on conscious growth and self-leadership. I also work as an investment manager at Human Angel Initiative, supporting early-stage ventures through funding and our investor community. Lisa stands for Leadership, Initiate, Structure, and Action. I am optimistic and love the hunt for new opportunities in everything I come across, I have an eye for detail and can be very critical but I become very enthusiastic if I can initiate, create and connect with people and connect them with each other. By doing just that I value the impact I have on my surroundings and in my projects. I'm not mainstream I am my own stream. Have strong personal values and I dare to stand for them. I want to inspire and encourage those around me to do the same. I don't fit in a box and don't want to. I thrive in operating in the in-between. I need to know the bigger picture of what I'm doing and keep track of the little details to connect these dots and that's how I operate at my best. That's when I'm in my element. This means I work best in an environment where I can take the space to initiate and have the freedom to operate how it suits best for me. Where I'll inform everyone involved along the way and expect to be informed as well. That is how we can work together most effectively and get the best results.
