Asra Abdulaziz, Founder Rise & Lead

Having gained international recognition during her 15-year career in Corporate and Investment Banking, Asra has turned her passion for leadership and nurturing talent into Rise & Lead, her executive coaching and mentoring company. Her successful career includes driving the growth and development of businesses from early stage through to mature levels by building strong teams of top tier talents; her track record across worldwide organisations and institutions in closing deals, setting up dynamic best business practices and creating significant value for clients, teams and management speaks for itself. ‘Always remember that you can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe in, you will achieve.’ This is Asra’s mantra. As she believes that out of discomfort comes learning and growth, her approach is to challenge boundaries. Yet she does so by supporting leaders in creating their future in a safe and caring environment. Her professional services help executives clarify their goals, identify the means to achieve them and overcome any obstacles they might be facing by silencing their self-limiting beliefs.
