Many corporations are adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a sustainable climate solution, and Microsoft is one of them. As a veteran #boarddirector and senior executive with: ? over 26 years of experience in ethical digital transformation, ? risk management, ? and technical product expansion...

Walking into a Wall Street boardroom as the only woman of color was defining. I knew that being an outsider meant working ten times harder. It meant mastering not just the technical skills but every aspect of the business. I taught myself finance, compliance, and global strategy with no roadmap. Because if no one is there to show you the way, you build your own. But being a trailblazer is about pushing boundaries so others don’t face the same walls. It’s about creating a path where none existed. Every challenge I faced strengthened my resolve to open doors for others. To show that being the “first” or “only” isn’t the end, but the beginning. If you’re breaking barriers, know that you’re paving the way for more to follow. Keep pushing. Someone out there needs to see that it’s possible. #trailblazer #leadership #diversityandinclusion #resilience #bhuvabiz ———————— Hi, I'm a Wall Street exec who manages risk for foreign companies entering the US market.

If you asked any immigrant... or children of immigrants: What is the most important thing to you? A lot of them would answer, “Family”. I mean it. I truly would not be where I am today without the unconditional support from my immediate family members.

Now, I want to open up the doors for other women founders in climate fintech.
