Ayelet Baron has been described as a force of nature when it comes to envisioning a more humane world. A former corporate honcho who has worked in global boardrooms in Silicon Valley, London and Singapore, she touched the pinnacle of her career as chief strategy and innovation officer at Cisco, Canada.
And then, Ayelet jumped off the regular grid of ‘success’ and charted her own path. She went on to win an award for her book trilogy, F*ck the Bucket List, based on her own learnings, and is among Forbes’ top 50 global female futurists.
Having just sold her Canadian home, Ayelet is now ready for her next exciting adventure, a trait she has had since birth. “I was almost born on a plane and started travelling when I was a few weeks old. World travel helped me nurture my ‘cut-off switch. I often think, hang on a minute, this is not working for me,” says the writer and visionary.
