Your business, powered by a rare blend of 30 years of C-Suite insight and academic rigor.
Welcome to Ed-Venture. My journey began not as a consultant, but as an operator—deeply immersed in the world of business, navigating the complexities of accounting, finance, leading sales and marketing initiatives, optimizing supply chains, Sales & Operational Planning, New Product Launches and driving HR strategy. From the seats of CFO and COO to CEO of a multi-billion-dollar corporation, I learned that sustainable success requires more than knowing what to do. It demands understanding why it works and, crucially, the ability to inspire your team to believe in the vision.
This fundamental revelation sparked my parallel path in education. While building my corporate career, I was also in the classroom—from Canada to Saudi Arabia—teaching accounting, finance, marketing and entrepreneurship. There, I saw first-hand the transformative power of knowledge: it doesn't just inform, it empowers and enables action.
These two worlds are now unified in this consultancy. My mission at Ed-Venture is to move beyond traditional advisory. We impart the hard-won, practical knowledge gathered from the boardrooms of the FMCG, healthcare, and engineering sectors across the globe. We combine proven C-suite leadership with deep academic rigor—backed by a Ph.D. in Marketing, an MBA in Finance, an M-Com in Accounting, and the CIM credential, not just to advise, but to educate, empower, and build with you.
