Female founder
Experienced CEO with demonstrated history of successfully managing investments and business processes. Skilled in Financial Management and highly experienced in Home Textiles, Global Sourcing, Marketing Strategy.
With over 18 years at the helm of Acro-Investments, my tenure as Managing Director has been defined by a commitment to strategic leadership and a passion for innovation. Our team has consistently delivered solutions that not only meet industry standards but set new benchmarks. At the core of my professional ethos is the drive to foster a culture of excellence and strategic thinking that aligns with our mission. Leading by example, I strive to empower our team, ensuring that together we contribute to the organization's enduring success and uphold its esteemed reputation in the industry. Create businesses which are sustainable & long term, thus providing solutions to all stakeholders.
As a female founder, I’ve experienced both the challenges and opportunities that come with building businesses in a space where women still receive a fraction of the available investment capital. While start ups with women at the centre, continue to demonstrate strong returns and sustainable growth, funding remains disproportionately low—less than 3% goes to all female led teams. That said, the landscape is evolving. More investors are recognising the value of diverse leadership, and dedicated funds are emerging to support female-led innovation. My journey is part of this shift, and I’m committed to opens doors for other women in entrepreneurship.
