About
Builder, operator, truth-seeker.
I'm a third-culture kid of Somali heritage, nurtured in the dynamic urban landscape of inner-city London. My journey has since taken me to Dubai, Barcelona, and now Lisbon, which I proudly call home.
From an early age, I aspired to exceed conventional expectations. After earning an MSc from LSE, I ventured into investment banking, seeking purpose but finding it unfulfilling. My transition to entrepreneurship led me into the retail sector, where I quickly realized the need for further learning. At Wallbox, a start-up brimming with entrepreneurial spirit, I worked under a long-standing mentor who helped me uncover my strengths and weaknesses.
As a resourceful problem solver, I leverage my neurodiversity to think independently and creatively. I thrive in fast-paced environments, driven by curiosity and a passion for learning. Collaboration is essential to me, and I excel in diverse, cooperative settings. However, managing time and multitasking can be challenging due to my ADHD, though I am continually developing strategies to overcome these hurdles. I occasionally struggle with patience in slow processes and long-term projects, and I am actively working on improving my listening skills.
Here's what I'm up to now.
