Monica Badra

“Seek a never -ending uphill climb” — MB

With entrepreneurship at the core, Monica Badra, Co- Founder and CEO of Neo NextGen currently runs a consulting business in aerospace transformation services and digital solutions. She also leads few side hustles in real estate, crypto bots, paperless apps, artificial intelligence and machine learning models, E-commerce businesses on Amazon and Etsy, as well as her role as a Board member and Strategic Advisor for startup companies in Web3.

Monica is a transformation enthusiast with a track record of elevating organizations, unlocking incremental value and driving efficiencies with strategy and execution at the core. Monica's main source of energy comes from constant challenge and learning. She also has a wide realm of interests spanning from aviation to behavioral finance, investment portfolio management, trading, disruptive technologies, as well as Web3; crypto, NFTs, the Metaverse, digital twins and virtual reality.

She saw “The Matrix” for what it was at a very young age. "In a few years from now, our avatars in the Metaverse will live a better lifestyle than we do in reality. What if we treated this as the Metaverse?"

Her path had difficulties at every turn. Her self-assurance, outspoken personality, energy and quest for knowledge occasionally sparked conflict. She loved disrupting the status quo and optimizing how we did things yesterday. Her mission was to further her personal development, which she worked hard to achieve in a corporate machine.

From her years negotiating with her dad at the dinner table, Monica had an innate business sense. From her years in corporate, Monica learned operational depth and harnessed a network of mentors and eventually partners and customers for her new venture, Neo NextGen.
