I worked to recognize challenges that Startups and SMEs faced at different levels of the business. I helped over 300 companies to sustain, innovate, brand, and pivot to reduce their operational costs and meet the effectiveness of their work. Efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability are key components of my strategy.
