Ever wondered just how tough it can be to take the entrepreneurial plunge? \ud83e\udee3

From the challenging task of finding the right talents who jive with the company’s values and culture to
the inevitable hiccups in landing those big projects, she’s seen her fair share of ups and downs.

Meet Jaya Maru<\/a>, co-Founder and CEO of Rewardz<\/a> Middle East, has been into HR digital transformation, incentives management and investment banking for 17+ years now. But she’s not just your typical businessperson. She’s an optimist, a hustler, a learner, and a self-proclaimed nerd. \ud83e\udd13

Despite these challenges she experienced, she always goes back to the purpose of why she\u2019s doing it: to build moments of joy in a world where people always feel valued. \ud83e\udd70
