Following my birthday week, I returned to the office to the most heartwarming surprise from my team at Aruwa Capital Management. Balloons, party hats, a beautiful cake, a card signed by everyone, and thoughtful gifts completely caught me off guard – it was a truly special moment. Leading Aruwa since I became CEO at 29 has been a journey of continuous learning: listening better, leading with empathy, building trust intentionally, and growing alongside the people I work with. Moments like this remind me that leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about relationships, the culture you build together, and mutual respect.
