"A few years ago I left my corporate job and launched Innovation Bazaar, a boutique consulting innovation firm based in New York City, advising global clients in overcoming challenges of innovation and transformation, through leveraging design thinking and data driven capabilities."

As a highly energetic strategy and innovation leader, our guest, Maryam Daryabegi, has spent her life propelling change and creating purposeful impact.

She gained her experience from living in ten cities, across four continents, and working with Fortune 500 firms, startups, non-profit organizations and universities across multiple industries and sectors.

Maryam partners with global visionary leaders to spark positive change and empower them to overcome challenges of innovation and transformation through leveraging design thinking methodologies and data-driven capabilities.

She’s also an educator and facilitator for the executive online course in digital business strategy offered by MIT Sloan School of Management. And, when she’s not busy doing all her other important work, Maryam is an adviser, coach and mentor to entrepreneurs and startups at various accelerators and incubators worldwide

"I was always passionate about solving client challenges and creating value for them. I was driven by a force inside me to make a positive difference for my clients, for the businesses and the people around me. I really enjoy taking on risks, proactively learning, failing fast, because that's the only way to grow."
