About

I've built two education companies. Neither started with a plan. Here's the actual path: At 18: I left Belgium for Georgetown on a student loan. Paid my way as a barista, exam proctor and teaching assistant. At 20: I started a peer-to-peer coaching business for students. It made $290k in 2 months. My first taste of possibility. At 23: After 3 years in Goldman Sachs M&A and finally clearing my debt, I packed my bags for Singapore with no plan, no network and no safety net, and started Ascend Now. At 31 (now): Built two multimillion-dollar education companies, Ascend Now and The Edge (supporting 120+ schools and 13,200+ students) (For Families: Ascend Now (https://ascendnow.org/) - 1:1 tutoring, college guidance and personal development. For Schools, Foundations and governments: Build My Edge (https://www.buildmyedge.com/) - educational strategy, program and curriculum development, and teacher development.) I also serve as an advisor and board member at Georgetown University, Dukes Education, Antwerp International School and other institutions.

Workshop, Training, Keynote • Depending on the clients choices; varies from 60 minutes talk to longer duration workshop

Students leave this workshop with self-awareness, practical entrepreneurial skills, and the confidence to turn ideas into action and present them publicly. The two-day Edge Experience, led by founder, and CEO Devi Sahny, helps participants understand their strengths through a True Colors assessment, collaborate in diverse teams, and use Design Thinking to identify a real problem and develop a solution. They test their idea with an authentic audience, refine a three-minute pitch through coaching and rehearsal, and showcase their work to families. The workshop celebrates initiative, rewards the top three teams, and equips every participant to think, build, and lead.
