For over 20 years, she has been an instrumental catalyst driving organizational transformation through innovation and creativity initiatives across consultancies, startups, and in-house for the ‘Mouse’.

At Disney, Sura mastered building beloved brands and magical experiences while infusing innovation into cultures and mindsets. Upon her arrival, she led the inception of the 23M views, record-breaking "Express Your Disney Side" augmented reality pop-up which surprised shoppers with Disney character shadows.
