Harnessing the Power of Connection

gnite Purpose, founded in 2012 by Christina Foxwell, is a human-centered performance improvement, coaching, training, and consulting practice that supports organizational transformation. The Enterprise World is proud to introduce it to one of the Most Trusted Organizational Development Companies in 2023. With global teams working with organizations to support their success in diﬀerent regions, Ignite Purpose equips people, leaders, and teams to turn their challenges into opportunities and opportunities into performance. Change and growth start in each person, and Ignite Purpose believes it is a journey that requires the right skills, practice, and focus.

Triggers of growth In the initial year of launching Ignite Purpose, Christina’s dedication and focus to set up the business for success led to burnout. She had to take a threemonth break from work, which made her anxious about the future of her business. However, this period of rest helped her gain clarity and be more eﬀective in her work. It also made her realize the importance of having support. To address this need, she created an internship program for university graduates, which proved to be a gamechanger. The program enabled her to leverage her talents eﬃciently and get much-needed assistance with administration and logistics. Long-standing success

Ignite Purpose helps organizations to create a culture of collaboration and productivity by developing strategies and initiatives that encourage open communication, knowledge sharing, and cross-functional cooperation. The company also provides training and coaching to help individuals and teams to develop the necessary skills and mindsets to work collaboratively. Areas of growth Ignite Purpose recognizes that there are three key areas of growth for organizations to focus on to deliver sustainable high-performance outcomes. These areas are Grow ME, Lead Others, and Better Together. The company’s program content and outcomes are practical, engaging, and have delivered success for individuals and the organization. With a decade of experience, Ignite Purpose has honed its expertise in these areas and has helped organizations across industries and geographies to achieve their goals.

To achieve long-standing success, Ignite Purpose follows a four-fold approach that involves a strong focus on ﬁnancial and strategic planning, a growthoriented mindset, transformative programs, and a commitment to living their purpose and working with others. By prioritizing these four key areas, the company has been able to build a successful and sustainable business model that has allowed them to make a meaningful impact on the lives of their clients. Company highlights In the work done with Primary Health Care networks in Australia, a transformation in people has been witnessed. The individuals in these networks work tirelessly on the frontlines to support GP networks and improve health outcomes for communities.

Throughout the challenges of Covid19, they have taken a crucial role in supporting healthcare workers. In this context, Ignite Purpose has played a critical role in supporting these networks to grow their leadership abilities, shift to a wise and focused culture, and foster deep connections. A step ahead Christina has developed a bold and ambitious 5-year strategy aimed at positively impacting organizations and communities around the globe. At the core of her vision is the belief that people can achieve great things when they work together, embracing the values of bravery, humility, creativity, innovation, and deep connection. Through their work, Christina and her team seek to disrupt traditional cultural transformation methods, shift mindsets, and save lives by placing love and connection back at the centre of the workplace. Their goal is to create a better world, one where psychologically safe workplaces with better mental health practices become the norm. With the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbating feelings of mental fatigue, stress, and a lack of control, people are increasingly struggling to connect and work together productively. This is where Christina and her team step in, providing guidance and support to leaders as they navigate complexity, build agility, and create clarity in an uncertain world. Through their work, Christina and her team are helping people heal, organizations transform, and the world be impacted for the better.

Igniting A Better Tomorrow

The company’s goal is to bridge the gap between industrial and home power needs. There is a scattered, diverse, and worldwide potential for the production of renewable energy. Lithium Power develops sustainable and profitable Energy Storage Solutions to meet the needs of various industries, including those for Tubular, AGM, GEL, Lithium, and LifePo4 Batteries, home UPS systems, and solar inverter systems. They do this with their cutting-edge solutions and expertise in offering customized solutions for their clients. It is a new company compared to the other industry participants, having just been around for two years. But starting from nothing and rising to become one of the most well-known battery exporters is a fantastic accomplishment. Lithium Power’s exclusive line of high-quality products has been well received in the Middle East and African markets, and its efforts in methodical distributions and marketing investment have increased the channel’s confidence as well.

Path To Success Lithium Power has created a sizable customer base in 20+ abroad regions with more than 100+ importers, with an emphasis on finding creative and commercially viable solutions for the world’s energy storage needs across several technologies. A testament to the effectiveness of its energy storage products, the company takes pleasure in its 10,000+ strong network of customers. “Life is a roller coaster ride. Working with multinational giants and corporations was always an easy option. But we decided to work with businesses from all levels and deliver excellent solutions with an aspiration to prove and raise the bar of standards. Fortunately, we made it happen, and this was the moment of life,” says Deepak Pathak. A marketable product that is continually being developed and delivered is the first requirement for long-term success in manufacturing. The ability to forge bonds with devoted customers comes next, and finally the insight to run with high profit margins. A Step Into The Future Future predictions indicate that by 2030, demand for lithium will have increased by more than 500%. According to a number of estimates, the demand for the product might exceed the supply, which would increase its price. Transportation and energy storage being at the focal point of the future, industry leadership are considering novel ways to invest in it. Planning for expansion necessitates a multidisciplinary strategy, an examination of every facet of the

company, including marketing, the web, production, and its eﬀects on others. This will promote unity. At the same time, it will set up future strategic planning components and get the company ready for quick expansion. Everyone inside the ﬁrm will be impacted by business growth, which makes excellent communication even more important in this situation. Words Of Wisdom For Budding Entrepreneurs “The only advice I can share as per my previous experience of entrepreneurship is – Do what inspires you.”

JADE GLOBAL Karan Yaramada Chairman & CEO 24 | JANUARY 2023

Making a Mark in the World of Technology

aran Yaramada, CEO, Jade Global, an IT Services company recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in North America by Inc. 5000 for 10 consecutive years, and Two-Time Honoree, listed among the Fastest Growing Silicon Valley and Philadelphia Enterprises in 2016 & 2018. Most recently, the company etched its place amidst leading IT names in two major power lists, for its AI-powered Managed Services and Digital Initiatives and advanced CRM offerings. His brainchild, Jade Global started humbly in 2003, armed with a singular Oracle Partnership in San Jose, its US headquarter and the first office, that stays strong to this day. By 2005, Jade Global had 50+ employees and Salesforce Alliance & Microsoft Gold Partnerships. Jade successively added Snowflake Managed Services, AWS, ServiceNow, NetSuite, and a Boomi Elite Partnership over the years to its growing partner landscape. Today Jade Global has 1000+ employees, spread across 7 cities, including offices in Austria, Canada, and India. Making an Idea Stick in the Brimming Silicon Valley Cup: Circa 2003, looking for a future in the hotbed of IT was not a great option, let alone building one. The valley was still recovering from the whiplash of the recession and though talent was at large, finding the right people was not the easiest. Businesses and investors were careful and naturally reluctant. But

for our Visionary, it was as George Bernard Shaw said, “Don’t wait for the right opportunity, create it.” Karan Yaramada founded Jade Global in 2003 after having worked for about 11 years in the IT industry. He discovered an opportunity in the market amidst the chaos, where the nature of IT services was becoming more global. Karan left his secured IT position, having worked with big names like KPMG, Tata Consultancy Services, and General Electric, this was one of the greatest risks he took at the peak of his career. Jade Global’s Changing Graph since its foundation: Jade Global entered the surging IT industry with only Oracle Practice and created a strong and proliﬁc partner portfolio by 2005. This steady growth from 2005 to 2010 was decked further by Snowﬂake Managed Services steered services. These years were also marked by other equally riveting milestones like the establishment of Jade Global’s R&D Unit: Jade Labs, a locus for innovation and hands-on engagement with emerging tech. Jade Global was widening and mounting in performance and numbers, with 160+ serviced clients and 150+ employees. Setting it Apart from the Competition The role of IT partners is rapidly changing with companies becoming more and more aware of how much they are spending, concurrently consuming technology at an

unprecedented rate. And one of the things that CIOs are driving while innovating is cost optimization. In the face of this abundance and prudence, how does Jade Global bring in a differentiator to its customers? In Karan’s own words, in an exclusive ET Now interview, “In IT services it is difficult to differentiate the unique value we provide, but the Customer Experience that Jade Global offers remain unparalleled.” The company is known for having one of the highest customer retention rates in the industry. More Industries, more areas and more offerings: Hi-tech & Life Sciences Industries have a great need for technology that enables process automation and seamless integration for both internal and external partners as well as applications. Jade Global has worked with over 150 Hi-tech customers to make strategic investments in launching unique industry solutions that will transform the business processes across the board. The solution consists of reference digital architecture with a preconfigured solution consisting of 70% of the most popular and relevant use cases in combination with leading purpose-built solutions.

ULIAN TAN-WIJAYA Savills Singapore Executive Director

38 | JANUARY 2023

ulian Tan-Wijaya (Executive Director, Retail & Lifestyle at Savills Singapore) is one of those women leaders: empathetic and supportive while also focusing on accomplishing their objectives. She is an astute and dedicated career women who is setting an example for other women leaders to follow.

She has also volunteered as a mentor for young women at the Singapore Council of Women’s Organization as a part of social services.

raising her two daughters. Her mother also retired relatively early to help raise Sulian’s young children, her niece and nephew, in order for Sulian Tan-Wijaya and her sister to better focus on their respective careers. At 85, Sulian’s mother is living a full life and still keeps busy. An avid reader, she regularly keeps up with global geo-political matters and business news.

Wearing Multiple Hats

Focusing on Team Empowerment

Life beyond Work

Sulian Tan-Wijaya graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Law degree and spent nearly 10 years in Indonesia as a senior corporate banker. She is also an alumni of the Stanford-NUS International Executive Program.

Most of Sulian’s team members joined her straight out of university in their 20’s, so she takes extracare in mentoring and guiding them. Hers is an all-female team, as retail leasing in Singapore tends to attract more females in general. The retail landscape is dynamic and evolving very rapidly. While her young team members may lack work experience, they compensate with their youth, energy and speed in keeping up with new retail trends.

At times, Sulian still struggles to strike a work-life balance.

Before joining Savills, Sulian TanWijaya worked as a General Manager at The Fullerton Heritage where she led the successful redevelopment and repositioning of the retail, F&B, and oﬃce spaces at Fullerton Hotel, Fullerton Bay Hotel, One Fullerton, Customs House, and Waterboat House. Prior to that, she was Director Tourism Shopping at the Singapore Tourism Board where she was responsible for signature events like Great Singapore Sale, Singapore Fashion Festival, Jewelfest and Christmas Light Up. She promoted key retail sectors like fashion, watch and jewelry, beauty & wellness, and consumer electronics. Sulian TanWijaya advocated Singapore as a Watch capital and promoted iconic watch events like The Hour Glass Tempus and Sincere Watch’s Jubilee. While working as a Senior Vice President at Paciﬁc Star Group, she was in charge of Wisma Atria

shopping mall and Capital Square. During her tenure, Wisma Atria underwent a major redevelopment and revamp in 2003.

Since the pandemic, Gen Z workers have been embracing working from home (WFH). However, they also report feeling isolated due to the lack of social and professional face-to-face interactions with colleagues. Surrounded by Compelling Women Savills Singapore as an organization is well-represented by male and female leaders. Sulian Tan-Wijaya has never used the term ‘feminism’ in any of her conversations. In her hometown Singapore, Sulian Tan-Wijaya has met many powerful and successful business or career women who have also successfully raised wonderful children. Sources of Inspiration Sulian’s biggest source of inspiration is her mother, a university graduate(quite rare in her time) who had an outstanding career while successfully

She says, “I ﬁnd myself often working late into the night and on weekends. But my work is interesting and enjoyable, so sometimes I forget that I’m actually working.” Outside of work, she still indulges in her ﬁrst love, music, and makes time everyday to update her eclectic music playlists. Being a former musician (keyboardist) and DJ, she will always have a soft spot for music in her heart. Words of Wisdom Here are some words of advice Sulian TanWijaya shares with upcoming women entrepreneurs: Ÿ There is no shortcut to success unless you are a genius and extremely gifted with an ample amount of talent. Since competition is everywhere and intensifying every day, one needs to work hard and smart to excel. Ÿ The world is evolving every day and customer preferences keep changing. One should therefore never stop learning or embracing change Ÿ Follow your passion, choose a business or job you love and just enjoy the process. Nothing beats having fun at work while making money at the same time.

Be a Partner, Not just a Service Provider Marching Sheep solutions are completely customized. The organization doesn’t act as “external consultants”, but as partners, who stay with clients throughout the entire journey- from diagnostics to solutions to implementation to monitoring! It understands the nuances of the situation along with the societal backdrop and the mindsets individuals and organizations struggle with. It proposes and implements multi-pronged solutions, thereby driving visible, long-term, sustainable change. Its diverse interventions based on extensive research, a deep understanding of lived realities, and contextualized industrial backdrop have been very well received by the industry.

Their CEO Sonica Aron is seen as a thought leader and her opinions and articles are published by leading media houses like the Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, The Statesman, and The Pioneer. She is invited as a speaker and panelist by conferences and educational institutions.

Winning Businesses with Hearts Marching Sheep is unique in many ways. Being a purpose-driven organization, its purpose cuts through all its solutions.

1. Diversity & Inclusion Strategies and interventions:

Also, the company is the only ﬁrm that is driving Inclusion Holistically. It is not focused on any one dimension of diversity but helps the organization build inclusive cultures irrespective of any kind of diﬀerences thereby building long-term sustainable capability.

2. Human Resource Consulting: Organizations need their HR strategy, process, and policies to enable employees to deliver on the business strategy and goals. We work closely with client organizations to streamline the vision, mission, values, behavioral frameworks, HR strategy, policies, and practices, drive communication and socialization, and the internal Leadership, and managerial capability to enable the same. 3. Bespoke learning interventions: In the last two years of the pandemic, the world has changed signiﬁcantly. As the socioeconomic fabric is evolving, the competencies needed to succeed at work are evolving. We work with clients to enable individual contributors, managers, and leaders to succeed by building the right competencies. We curate each intervention to drive the right behaviors through the facilitation of insights, reﬂection, and practice. 4. Health & Wellness Portfolio: Wellness today includes emotional, mental, and physical well-being. While policies and insurance can take care of the physical aspect, there still needs to be awareness and life skillbuilding around dealing with issues like anxiety, stress, and burnout. With programs curated after research and with the help of clinical psychologists, we enable individuals to become emotionally resilient by identifying their stress triggers, their stress responses, and coping mechanisms and hence more productive, personally, and professionally.

Giving a Tough Fight and Thriving the COVID-19 Situation When Covid struck and the lockdown was announced. Overnight, all clients canceled their planned interventions and their revenue stream dried up. It recharged and re-invented itself to meet the needs of a turbulent, uncertain, and evolving marketplace. Employees today want to work for organizations that are purpose-driven and provide them with an environment where they can learn and grow. They are not looking for mandated training calendars and forced nominations but meaningful learning frameworks that help them move toward their career goals. The organization will need to look at the learning framework from a new lens. E-learning modules are great, and technology is great but do they drive behavior change, or are they a tick in the box? There will be some hard questions to ask and answer. Sonica’s Classic Advice to Budding Entrepreneurs “Follow your heart, and be persistent. There will be obstacles, and there will be naysayers, but you need to be conﬁdent about what you are doing and keep at it. Nothing succeeds like success.” Going forward, we will be focusing more on quality than quantity.

AURA RINNANKOSKI Business International Transformational Coach

60 | JANUARY 2023

Catalyzing Growth in Personal and Professional Spheres

eet the – Changemaker – Laura Rinnankoski

Laura Rinnankoski was born in the vibrant city of Helsinki, Finland. She later traversed continents and lived in Caracas, Venezuela. Her educational pursuit led her to study in some of the most renowned international schools in America, including Boston University where she got a degree. Later she moved to Miami and currently Laura lives in Dublin, Ireland. Laura’s upbringing reflects a blend of three distinct cultures—the friendliness of Venezuela, the Nordic charm of Finland, and the cosmopolitan style of the United States. Laura Rinnankoski effortlessly communicates in four languages—English, Spanish, Finnish, and Italian. This linguistic versatility allows her to navigate the global landscape with ease. During her time in Miami, Laura Rinnankoski worked with very wellknown advertising agencies, and had the privilege of managing some big clients like – Ericsson, Samsung & The Discovery Channel. Laura was also involved in the advertising campaign of the International Space Station. Another feather in her hat was when she worked on the advertising campaign of the Matrix Reloaded movie for Latin America. “All of my jobs have involved managing relationships. I decided to become a life and relationship coach because coaching combines three things that have always been important to me…helping people, communicating with people in different languages and I’m also spiritual,” she adds.

Laura Rinnankoski is passionate about helping people find their own answers and become more empowered. She focuses on relationship coaching. “We all have different kinds of relationships with our families, friends and partners. The most important relationship that you will ever have is the one with yourself,” says Laura. This became her main motivation, to help clients improve the relationship with themselves, thus helping them improve all their other relationships. Walking Through the Process of Transformation “One of the most common challenges that my clients face is not fully loving and accepting themselves.” Here are some exercises that Laura Rinnankoski does with her clients: #1: Write a list of things that you like or love about yourself. It can be from 10–100 things. It doesn’t matter how many things are on the list, the most important thing is to do the exercise because it is like writing a love letter to yourself. #2: Have a gratitude journal or write a daily gratitude list of at least 5 things that you’re grateful for. The more you focus on gratitude, the more abundance you will create in your life. You can change your life by having an attitude of gratitude. #3: Monitor your self-talk. Is it mostly positive, or is it mostly negative? If it’s mostly positive, great…keep it up! If it’s mostly negative, find a way to turn it

around. Humour is a great way to turn things around. #4: Write down your stories. What story are you telling about yourself, life, love, relationships, men, women, etc.? If you don’t like a story, you can always change it. You can’t change an event, but you can change the story that you are telling yourself about what happened. #5: Create a vision board. It’s important to have a vision, dreams and goals. When you create a vision board, you are making a collage of images of your ideal life. You need to believe that everything is possible for you, and you need to feel worthy of receiving it but you don’t need to know how it will happen. When you are aligned on all levels with your thoughts, your beliefs and your actions, then the Universe will bring in people, events and circumstances that will help you manifest your dreams and goals. What the Future Holds? “Looking ahead, I see a global journey conducting workshops and talks in four languages—English, Spanish, Finnish, and Italian.” As a bestselling author, Laura Rinnankoski is currently weaving stories about coaching and her life’s journey for her next books. “I foresee coaching evolving by embracing the virtual world, emphasizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility,” she further adds. The focus will be on preserving psychological safety and personal boundaries, creating a nurturing environment for growth. Tomorrow’s coaching landscape will witness the improvement of virtual leaders and a heightened emphasis on executive presence. It’s a harmonious progression—marked by progress, inclusivity, and impactful leadership.

ABALWA NGONYAMA Sinayo Securities Founder & CEO

66 | JANUARY 2023

A Maven Making Major Waves in the Finance Sector The Illustrious Journey of Babalwa Ngonyama “When I entered the finance sector my motivation was to challenge the male dominated status quo in the industry and pro-actively enhance the level of women participation in the financial services sector.” Babalwa Ngonyama’s realization of shifting the balance played a huge role in her career. She states, one can only shift the balance by playing a meaningful role in the economic activities and the financial services sector is at the core of the economy of our country. Babalwa Ngonyama’s biggest challenge being a female-led business, was to overcome the numerous barriers women encounter. As she states, there are certain ways in which men approach business and women bring a different perspective to the financial services industry, which then enhances the traditional way of how business is done. Making clients believe in the company and the authenticity of its services has truly been an arduous task. In contrast to established businesses, you need to double the business development effort; be it through making multiple presentations, continuously engaging potential clients and convincing them of your capabilities. “Other potential clients would make it clear to us that they had doubts and would say, “Let’s give it a year and see if you survive before we do business with you.” These challenges have made us stronger, built resilience and provided us with the platform to be focused on execution excellence.”, she further adds. Nothing Succeeds like Success The growth trigger for Sinayo was the confluence of their in-depth understanding of client needs, securing the ability to tailor-make client solutions

eidy Ramírez (CEO of Dexter Global Finance ) is an exemplary woman who has risen to the top by breaking through the glass ceiling of the male-dominated finance industry. Her achievement as “The Most Iconic Women Leaders in Finance Industry – 2023” throws a spotlight on her remarkable journey as a leader and her contribution to this ever-evolving finance industry. Alternative Financing with Private Capital Dexter is a financial management and intermediation company, primarily focused on alternative financing with private capital. The company manages and represents over fifty investment funds, debt funds, and private equity firms. It primarily supports growing companies as well as firms undergoing internal restructuring and aids in their revitalization. When Dexter was established, financial intermediation had a low level of professionalization in Spain, unlike other European countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and, of course, the United States. Dexter Global Finance manages over fifty investment funds, debt funds, and private equity. It focuses on providing financing exclusively to companies, not individuals. Dexter prioritizes rigor, transparency, security, and solvency. The company has a skilled team of experienced executives and professionals in their field. It has provided a very robust corporate structure to a sector in which this was not a common feature. A Pioneering Entity The private equity financial industry in Spain has evolved from a period of limited professionalization to a more advanced stage, where Dexter notably emerged as a pioneering entity. The company navigated through market transitions and took the helm in catalyzing a shift towards refined professional and corporate structures dedicated to private capital financing.

Initially, only a few corporations provided a genuine and high-quality alternative to regular bank financing. This landscape cultivated a prime environment for Dexter to not only adapt to market metamorphoses but also spearhead crucial changes. These changes prominently included leading the orchestration of new professional and corporate architectures that facilitate private capital financing. The proactive stance of the company has set it apart and positioned it as a trendsetter in enhancing the professionalism and quality of financial offerings in the private equity sector within Spain. Promoting M&A Services Dexter is following a twofold path by expanding its services in the future. First, it aims to broaden and deepen its current product and service offerings. Secondly, it aspires to identify market needs and fulfill them. Currently, the company is vigorously promoting its M&A services, with a dedicated Dexter Committee orchestrating mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring operations from strategic, legal, accounting, and consulting angles. Its spirit in new product and service creation remains constant to provide added value.
