The Rising Star of Entrepreneurial Empowerment
In the world of competitive commercial and professional, it often means people not helping or lifting others as it may come across as counterproductive. This calls for leaders who can genuinely connect and share real-time hacks with others to drive economic progress. One such emerging woman entrepreneurial leader is Zulfira Pulotova – an astute business consultant, strategist and philanthropist at heart who is on a mission to help people achieve real success in the business world. Today, Zulfira Pulotova is the Founder & CEO of Connect Local & Global Inc. and has been recognized as Business Woman of the Month by the CanadianSME Business Magazine for its November edition. She receives this recognition for her outstanding contributions to the entrepreneurial landscape in Canada. Her journey exemplifies strength, perseverance, and the ability to adapt and transform.
From Immigrant to Entrepreneur
Interestingly enough, Zulfira’s journey began with a big move when she had to face the difficult challenge of starting over in a new nation after immigrating to Canada. Although she had extensive management and leadership experience overseas, she started her Canadian journey in a professional position that did not require all the skillset she brought with her. Leveraging her education and diverse experience, she successfully launched Connect Local & Global Inc., a management consulting firm based in Calgary a few years after arrival. Zulfira’s determination to create a brighter future for her family and make a positive difference in Canada and beyond propelled her rapid rise in the business realm.
