Hi, I’m ryna mi.

I have no special talent, I am only passionately curious.
— Albert Einstein

By calling and passion, I am a scientist of wealth and a wealth doula. I am curious to better understand how the definition of wealth is linked to acute changes in societal beliefs and structures, as well as how this definition drives those changes.

Throughout my professional journey, I have worn many hats: ex-CEO of a multibillion-dollar private bank, wealth management expert, venture capital fundraiser and investor, M&A advisor, and turnaround advisor. Yet, I believe my true essence lies in my life and business philosophy, as well as my visions for the present and future of humanity and humanness—particularly around the concepts and practicalities of wealth.

MY PURPOSEHOOD statement

I promote balance and harmony in individuals and society by depolarizing wealth-related matters, transforming mental perceptions and practical approaches to wealth, and offering methodologies for caring about and with it.

On this journey, I stand for compassionate and ethical wealth creation, aiming to be an inspiring cross-generational example of holistic wealth, fulfillment, and joy — for my family, my community and the world at large.

so, WHAT I DO

In my scientific hat I research the history of “wealth”, its definitions, connotations and transformations.

In my business hat I guide individuals and organizations in defining and redefining what wealth means for them and from there — accessing and living with wealth in a holistic sense. My approach explores concepts of “wealthfulness” (trademark) and Return on Lifetime (reference to Ammar?) and facilitates connections between the material and alternative dimensions of wealth.

In my personal life hat I am living my talk: I am trying to achieve as much Return on my own Lifetime as possible within the balanced scorecard of my “wealthfullness” map.

Through my work and life experiences, I aim to study, teach, and help build integrated systems of holistic wealth, developing prototypes of the “wealthcare” value proposition.
