I have always wanted to have children of my own, but of late I’d been contemplating if this would be a fair or responsible decision - our planet isn’t currently the most conducive environment, and pressing issues like climate change are only set to worsen in time. As a problem solver, I didn’t want to just complain, give excuses, or resign myself to fate. It is our fundamental responsibility to leave a world for the future generations to thrive, and I am committed to taking actions to make our planet a better place.For seven years I worked as an internal consultant in both the financial services and healthcare industries, working with C-suite executives to develop growth and transformation strategies. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the process of problem-solving, I realized the inherent inertia and structure of corporations is a limiting factor in how fast they can move and disrupt the norm.I wanted to have more ownership over the impact I create while being able to learn and contribute across the entire value chain. With that in mind, I took the leap to join Entrepreneur First, a highly selective deep technology incubator and co-founded pFIBRE. At pFIBRE, we’re developing fully biodegradable B2B packaging using plant-based materials. Our solution is aimed at reducing plastic waste, and the greenhouse gas emissions that come with their manufacturing and disintegration. We’re hopeful that this will be a positive step forward towards a greener, more sustainable Earth.
