SOMI AS A LEADER
Somi's leadership philosophy centers on resilience, continuous learning, and maximum impact. She believes in viewing life as a game to be enjoyed, embracing challenges, and constantly adapting.
Leadership is not stagnant.
Great Leaders think ahead.
The future of leadership is inclusively innovative.
When I think of a leader, I think of Ray Dalio.
I PRIORITIZE SLEEP, EXERCISE, AND MEDITATION TO STAY GROUNDED.

SOMI ON NAVIGATING CHALLENGES AS A FEMALE IMMIGRANT IN TECH
Somi's journey to the UK embodies resilience and determination. As a female immigrant in a new country, she faced significant obstacles but tackled them with persistence and laser-sharp focus. Her ability to pivot and teach herself how to edit to become a TV producer and now a tech philosopher and entrepreneur illustrates her adaptability and relentless drive. Somi’s experience underscores the importance of staying focused and resilient in the face of adversity, a lesson she imparts to aspiring leaders in her team.
SOMI ON EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH UPSKILLING AND RESKILLING
Somi is a staunch advocate for continuous learning and development. At InPeak, she incentivizes her team to upskill and reskill, drawing from her own experience of teaching herself to use a camera and editing software upon arriving in the UK. By fostering a culture of self-improvement and adaptability, Somi ensures her team is well-prepared to navigate the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Her holistic approach to coaching, which includes addressing self-limiting beliefs and discovering one's Ikigai, equips individuals to become thought leaders and innovators in their fields.
ALL OF THE HARDSHIP I HAVE ENDURED TO MAKE IT TO WHERE I AM TODAY MEANS I UNDERSTAND OTHERS' PAINS AND STRUGGLES (AND MAY HAVE BEEN THERE MYSELF AT SOME POINT!).
