I fell in love with technology when I started my first job at Apple in 2002. I worked on various products (iMac, iPod, iBook, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) in diverse functions (Marketing, Product, Operations) in different companies (Apple, Microsoft, Meta/Facebook).

Over 20 years in the industry, I realized the most amazing technology, after all, was the human mind – our consciousness and awareness. However, no one was paying attention to taking care of the human mind at work. Instead, the focus was on how to take advantage of it, maximizing and optimizing it. I suffered from this directly in the form of burnout and depression.

Ultimately, it was the development of emotional intelligence and mindfulness that not only saved me but also opened my eyes to learn what it truly means to thrive at work. This experience inspired me to guide others in the corporates to let the strong sense of wellbeing lead to strong performance at work. Eventually, I founded “People+Culture”, to help people and teams create the culture of wellbeing at workplaces for better engagement.
