We're Building a Better Playbook for a Livable Future

Founder, Executive Director

My path to founding The Chamber of Us began in a very different world—engineering and corporate energy. For more than a decade, I led global teams at Siemens Energy, managing high-stakes programs, multimillion-dollar budgets, and developing technologies that set new records for efficiency. Our teams earned industry awards, and on paper, I had built a career to be proud of.

But the deeper I went, the more uneasy I became. Those record-setting technologies still carried a hidden cost—high emissions and growing dependence on fossil-fuel infrastructure. Each incremental gain in efficiency began to feel hollow against the broader impact of what we were sustaining.

That realization became a turning point. I wanted my work to move the world forward, not just faster. I needed to build systems that created real progress—human, environmental, and structural.

That impulse wasn’t new. Years earlier, I’d volunteered to help local candidates get on the ballot—not because I was political, but because I believed people without wealth or connections deserved a fair chance to lead. I’ve seen how opportunity can change a life. I grew up in a low-income environment, and my own family’s trajectory shifted only because someone stepped in at the right moment with an act of generosity.

The Chamber of Us was born from that belief—that the right support at the right time can change everything. We exist to remove barriers and build the infrastructure for lasting opportunity. Not handouts, but handholds. Not charity, but alignment.

I left one world behind so I could help build another—one grounded in systems thinking, transparency, and compassion.

Chief Health Officer and Board Member

My journey in healthcare began as a physician in Kerala, India, where I served remote communities and tackled communicable diseases. This front-line experience showed me the profound impact of health insecurity. Driven to find more scalable solutions, I pursued a master's in Health Informatics, focusing on NLP and data analytics from the University of Florida College of Medicine.

My work in both developing and developed nations revealed a stark, universal truth: our health systems are failing us in different ways. In India, the challenge was access. In the U.S., I was struck by the "disconnected living," the rise of non-communicable diseases, and the "inaccessibility of many treatments," even for fellow healthcare professionals.

When Kevin founded The Chamber of Us, I saw it as the necessary next step—a systems-level approach to connect people to the resources they need. I joined as Chief Health Officer to build the data-driven, compassionate infrastructure that I know can create a better, healthier world for all.

Chief Financial Officer and Board Member

My journey has always been shaped by movement—moving countries, careers, and ideas.

I grew up in the Middle East, dreaming of North America and all the possibilities it promised. Eventually, I made that dream a reality, earning my degree in civil engineering and building a career in construction management. I went on to pursue a master’s degree in the U.S., driven by the same mindset I’ve always had—keep learning, keep growing, keep building.

But even as I moved forward in my career, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. The more I learned, the more I thought about the people I grew up with—the ones who didn’t have the same opportunities I had. I wanted to do something bigger than just build structures. I wanted to help build a future that worked for everyone.

When Kevin first shared his vision for The Chamber of Us, it immediately clicked. The idea of creating systems that empower people, challenge the status quo, and connect communities across borders felt like something worth giving my time and energy to. And being able to work alongside my partner, Sadiya, made the mission even more meaningful.

At TCUS, I hope to use what I’ve learned in engineering, finance, and project management to help turn big ideas into real impact—brick by brick, step by step.
