Do you have a mantra or motto you live by?

Yes, my guiding mantra is "Empower potential and embrace purpose." This reminds me to approach each day with intention, aiming to unlock the best in myself and others. It’s a call to stay true to one’s values, lead with integrity, and constantly pursue growth—both personal and collective.

What is the most influential book you’ve read?

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Its profound insights on resilience and finding purpose in adversity have shaped my perspective on life and work, reminding me that meaning drives fulfillment, even in the toughest times.

What is your work philosophy?

My work philosophy revolves around purpose, ownership, and continuous growth. I believe in working with clear intent, where each action aligns with a larger goal that brings value not just to oneself but to others. Taking full ownership of every task, I approach challenges as opportunities to learn and excel, holding myself to high standards. I also view growth as a constant journey, both personally and professionally, and aim to create an environment that encourages innovation, resilience, and collaboration. This philosophy drives me to create a meaningful impact and inspire the same dedication in those around me.

"I value resilience, integrity, and mindfulness, and these guide my actions and decisions. My guiding principle is to lead with integrity and purpose."
