Founder, World Impact Forum

Theme:

As Founder of the World Impact Forum, I am passionate about creating and supporting sustainable and inclusive communities that foster social and environmental impact. With over 15 years of management experience, I have developed strong leadership skills, a global mindset, and a proven ability to drive organisational value. I am also a Conscious Leader, serving as Vice Chairman at World Organization for Development, where I collaborate with the United Nations, the global business community, and civil society to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

My role as a Managing Partner at Lambert & Co. and a senior manager in various international markets have equipped me with a wealth of expertise in business development, strategy formulation, growth markets, and ESG and sustainability. I have successfully built relationships with impact funds, venture capitalists, family offices, and private wealth, and delivered multiple projects across North America, Europe, MENA, Turkey, India, and Asia-Pacific. I am always eager to learn, innovate, and share my knowledge and insights with others. My mission is to make a positive difference in the world through my work and leadership.
