Hello, I am Carmi!

Previously, I founded Kwema, an IOT wearables company to save lives. In 2015 a friend of mine was kidnapped in Bolivia (my home country). Fortunately, she made it back to safety, however this was the spark that led me to advocate for personal safety since.

My Leadership style:
People FIRST, PROCESS matters,
let RESULTS speak
Building high performance teams means not only attracting top talent but also connecting as humans.
I’ve been fortunate to build teams since the beginning of my career. I love working with talented people, aligning priorities, casting vision and helping them grow professionally and personally.
I work the best with high achievers in a fast paced environment.
In my previous life I too was in the corporate spheres.
Great mentors and friendships were built here.
I learnt plenty but I needed run faster in my own terms. Still, the corporate life was a part of my journey and I’m thankful for it.

If you have a challenging project in mind, I’d love to learn more about it.
