She has spent the last 20 years in the technology sector, crafting marketing strategies that have helped a myriad of companies – hyper-growth start-ups, mid to large enterprises, with a focus on B2B, B2C, and SaaS – grow their brands, revenues, and bookings.

- What was it like for her and her family to assimilate into US culture
- Her ‘American’ dream for herself and her family
- Opportunities that presented themselves that helped her achieve her goals
- How she advanced in her career as she dealt with challenges being an immigrant, and a woman in a male-dominated tech industry
- Unconscious biases that still exist in US society
- Importance of expanding your sphere of influence and nurturing your network
