Entrepreneur. Builder. Systems Thinker. Speaker.
Co-Founder, OnStack AI Labs
I am the founder of Begine Fusion and co-founder of OnStack AI Labs. I build businesses, products and the systems organizations operate on.

About
My story
-
Early work
I built a career in India as a model, dancer and actor, and I founded a talent agency there. That agency was the first business I built from the ground up.
-
Business, marketing and technology
I have more than 13 years of experience across IT, financial services, fintech, marketing and nonprofits. I completed a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Mumbai, an MSc in Marketing at the University of Lagos, and a Brand Management certificate at the University of Toronto. I also hold a Growth Marketing Minidegree from CXL and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt from GoLeanSixSigma. I have taught marketing and entrepreneurship at Robertson College.

Building Begine Fusion
Begine Fusion began in Lagos in 2013 as H.W.G Services, a digital marketing company. I founded it. The company began operating in Canada in 2020 and is based in Calgary. It is a digital adoption and growth company and a Zoho Authorized Partner. From 2022 to 2024 Begine Fusion was a Digital Advisor under the Canada Digital Adoption Programme (CDAP).

Building across ventures
I co-founded 6ixth Ideas Technologies, a custom software and enterprise systems company, from 2023 to 2025. I co-founded OnStack AI Labs, an applied AI lab in Calgary and a partnership between QA Enterprises and Begine Fusion. I host the One Thing About Life podcast, on marketing, branding, technology and business.
-
The work now
I am the founder of Begine Fusion and co-founder of OnStack AI Labs. Since October 2024 I have served on the Board of Directors of the Affinity Mentorship Foundation. The work with leaders is the business systems, workflows and AI capability an organization needs to grow: how the work runs, the system of record, the automations, and the governance around AI use.

Perspective
How I think
Understand the work before the technology
Process mapping, CRM and data architecture, automation, AI workflows and the governance around them start from how an organization's work runs, before a decision about which technology belongs in it.
Adoption has to reach an outcome the client defines
Digital adoption only matters if it leads to outcomes defined by the client.
AI use needs governance
Putting AI into the work includes the rules around it: what it is allowed to do, and where a person still decides.
