Though she once dreamed of becoming an astrophysicist, life steered her toward reaching the stars through business, leadership, and strategic impact.
Early Life
Academics
Sabah began her journey with a Master’s in Management Studies from Bombay University and an MBA from Manchester Business School. Her early career in the UK marketing and advertising industry, working with brands such as P&O Cruises, Adidas, and Toys R Us, honed her expertise in consumer behavior, branding, and market growth.
Certified by ABTA in travel and tourism, Sabah broadened her international business knowledge. She later transitioned into software engineering with Apple Industries through the National Computing Centre in United Kingdom, gaining technical expertise while deepening her understanding of innovation and product development.
Expanding Horizons
Climbing the Corporate Ladder
She then moved into business management roles in the pharmaceutical industry, working with leading companies including Pfizer, Novartis, and Cephalon in the United Kingdom. Here, Sabah built expertise in global operations, market development, and cross-border healthcare strategies.
With a vision to expand her wings, she set her sail to foreign lands and decided to move to Canada from UK. Sabah expanded her portfolio into medical services and clinical research, where she gained deep insight into healthcare systems, clinical trials, and the integration of IT in research and data management.
Relocating to Canada
First Entrepreneurial Venture
Parallel to her professional achievements, Sabah pursued her creative passion, and earned professional certifications from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the GEM-A in London, becoming a Gold Medalist and Certified Gemologist and Jewelry Designer. This experience laid the foundation of her first entrepreneurial venture into jewelery manufacturing and luxury craftsmanship, setting her future path as a multipreneur and investor.

Building on her creative vision, Sabah entered the field of interior design, launching her second successful business. Under her leadership, the company thrived and was later sold as a turnkey business at a profit, showcasing her ability to create, scale, and exit ventures successfully.
