My Journey

Welcome to my journey of becoming a Lean Leader! A culmination of my personal and professional odyssey. With a background in software engineering and a deep fascination for human systems, I have spent over a decade in various roles across digital companies, from product manager to project manager, business analyst to head of quality assurance. This is when my true calling emerged led me to embark on a journey of self-discovery, leading me to pursue General Management diploma at McGill University followed by a master certificate in performance and learning competencies.

As an adult immigrant, my arrival in Canada compelled me to pack only the essentials, igniting my passion for integrating Lean principles into every aspect of my life. With limited resources, I learned to rely on my inner compass, making intentional choices and eliminating waste. This transformative process allowed me to delve into my personal values, strengths, and passions, empowering me to ascend the ladder towards self-realization. It was on this path that I discovered my purpose in leadership and transformational development, furthering my education in professional coaching, and organizational transformation frameworks such as Agile.

In my pursuit of intellectual growth, I reached a crossroads, seeking the next steps in my journey. To silence the external noises and hear my inner leadership voice, I embarked on a profound quest in 2022—walking the last 180 kilometers of Camino de Santiago, armed with only a backpack. This pilgrimage was another chance to embrace the lean philosophy and trust in the process. As I traversed many unknowns, I realized that when I am clear on my destination, the path unfolds before me, equipping me with all that I need to succeed. It became evident that my purpose was to help others unlock their own potential. And so, LeanLead was born!

With two decades of professional experience and a journey alongside leaders from three continents, I am certain that leadership is a calling we all face at some point in our lives.
