Advisor / Ambassador
I serve as an ambassador for the Simurgh Leadership Academy because I am passionate about uniting individuals, particularly (future) leaders, to collaboratively learn from one another and shape the present and future world. These times demand leaders driven by values, who embrace life with curiosity and a spirit of inquiry, and who strive to demonstrate and convey the importance of possessing a finely calibrated moral compass. Such leaders are committed to continuous self-improvement and personal development.
