From War to
Worldwide Impact

At age 16, I lost my leg in a grenade blast. I spent months in a hospital alone, unsure if I’d live. I rebuilt my life in a new country, founded a global IT company, and became a voice for those navigating change, loss, and reinvention.


Today, I help individuals and organizations rise above setbacks—and scale what matters most.
