at night because, having come from a culturally strict family, she had been expected to marry young rather than go to university. “I did go slightly against the grain and challenge the
status quo because I didn't understand why I couldn't study further,” she explains. “I was a bit more rebellious than the average child. I got a job as an intern at a law firm and studied in the evenings. “I had an inner voice that kept telling me to spread
my wings further. I think when you've gone through the problems that I've had, you've got to have grit, to have mental strength to be able to get through difficulties. “I have a strong sense of responsibility and accountability and the desire to succeed, which is what drives me. I also like to inspire and motivate others and build teams that are high achievers. I like listening to the team and their ideas and creativity, which help me with my own continued learning.”
BE FEARLESS At the heart of Centuro Global is a technology platform that can help clients with challenges around global mobility, workforce solutions, immigration, tax, and setting up entities in a variety of overseas regions. “I like to mentor and to empower people in my
leadership role,” she says. “I’m good at giving ideas and suggestions and then letting people go away and come back with a solution. When you empower people and give them the tools to succeed then everyone wins.” She says in today’s commercial world you need to be
quick on your feet. “You've got to think what is it that your clients are
looking for? Listen carefully and thoughtfully and offer bespoke strategic solutions. Clients want to see value and impact so providing advice that they cannot get anywhere else leads to loyalty and long-term relationships. I have been called ‘Yoda’ by a client once because they felt they could come to me with any problem and I would offer an instant answer without reference to anything.” Her advice to young women starting out in their career is to “stand your ground and be clear on what you want”. “If there is something you set out to achieve, and you
want it bad enough, you've got to find a way to get it,” she says. “Life is always going to be full of challenges and there will be many hurdles, but you cannot be deterred from what you want to achieve. “I've always been a risk taker, and I've never cared
about the consequences, especially since I had to endure so many hardships early on. I always say to myself, am I going to take this risk, what's the worst that can happen and can I handle it? Could I deal with the worst-case scenario? And if the answer is yes I can handle the worst-case scenario, then I'll go ahead and take the risk. I have had to be pretty fearless, which has led me to where I am today.”
