Fall in love with the problem, and the solutions will follow. From a young age, I knew I wanted to create something meaningful. Throughout my career—from consulting to startups—I was always searching for that spark, that idea worth pursuing. And it worked. During my time at BCG, exposure to different industries sparked my imagination and planted the seeds of inspiration. The idea for hear.com came to life during a healthcare project I worked on during my consulting days, where I saw firsthand the challenges in hearing care. The stigma around hearing care that could truly change lives fascinated me—it was a problem I wanted to solve. Together with my co-founder, we combined the power of research and expert insights from our network, and others in the hearing care space, to reimagine and revolutionize how people approach hearing care. This wasn’t just about starting a business—it was about creating a solution we deeply believed in. We began with a small pilot in 2012, testing our concept with minimal investment. The positive feedback validated our vision, confirming we were onto something big. With conviction burning like a bonfire, we dove in headfirst to build hear.com into what it is today. To fellow founders and entrepreneurs: Develop a deep connection to the problem you’re solving. Believe wholeheartedly in your mission—that belief will carry you through the toughest challenges.
