At the intersection of

Re-Invention & Resilience

My leadership is shaped by an odyssey that forged new horizons across continents. From India to Uganda, then as refugees to the UK, and finally as immigrants to North America, my family continually redefined home.

Each transition demanded reinvention, resilience, and creative adaptation—qualities now woven into my DNA. Today, I empower others to build new worlds through responsible and inclusive technology.

When confronting a challenge, the most potent question we can ask is, “What else is possible?” It’s a question that demands action, innovation, and investment to build a world where everyone thrives.

In addition to bringing deep expertise, I found that Salima was excellent at building trust-based relationships at all levels of the organization - from software engineers, to policy experts, to c-suite members, and more. She struck the right balance of pushing us to do better, while being sensitive to the day-to-day realities of an early-stage technology business. She brings the latest thinking around responsible technology, which I'm confident has significant application to emerging AI tools.
