Meet the Founder: Fateme Banishoeib

A scientist who wrote poetry before she knew why. A lifelong collector of questions that don't belong to one discipline.

I am the founder of ReNEWBusiness a place for questions that refuse to stay in their assigned rooms.

I hold a Master’s in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and a PhD in Organic Chemistry, and I have overseen quality & operations in numerous pharmaceutical corporations globally - from the United States to Europe, and Asia.

I became a scientist because I wanted to save lives and I wrote poetry to save myself. It took me years to realise they were never separate ambitions.

I have spent much of my life moving between worlds that were supposed to remain separate: science and art, rigour and mystery, business and poetry, evidence and lived experience. Perhaps that is why I keep finding myself interested in the spaces between categories and in what becomes possible there. 

My talks have been said to transform how people think, see, act.

I am a published author, poet and painter. My collection of poems: The Whisper, charts the journey of leadership of self before the leadership of others. Complement it with The Poetry of Leadership for practicing and evolving your leadership presence. If you are looking for transformative practises for Human and Business Development have a look at Artful Entrepreneurship.
