Farrah is a startup advisor, business strategist, life coach, keynote speaker and podcast host that helps corporate professionals and entrepreneurs to launch, grow and scale their purpose-driven businesses.
Farrah spent over two decades working in finance, private equity and commercial real estate, pursuing a career that was outwardly considered successful, with progressive jumps up the ladder rung but inside, she was not fulfilled or happy.

Whether you are in a corporate role, considering a path of entrepreneurship or already on your journey – I will leave you motivated to act and inspire you to be the leader of your own future.
