Background

Driven by a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, Grishma’s early career saw her establishing a successful photographic agency, followed by an independent record label.

She later joined Hard Candy, an on-fire L.A. cosmetics brand at the time, acquired soon after by LVMH.

It was here that she first met Alex Pescott, and when Alex subsequently launched Fusion in 1998, he asked Grishma to join him. With an opportunity to continue to operate in an entrepreneurial, forward thinking business working with global brands on an international stage, Grishma was inspired to explore this new path and has enjoyed contributing to the growth and direction of the company ever since.

About me

With a keen interest in social, political and environmental issues, I am an active participator in actions to affect change, from Global Climate Strike and Extinction Rebellion organised events to anti-Brexit and anti-Trump protests (hopefully never again needed).

I have an amateur fascination in cosmology, hooked on AI and emerging technologies, and am a keen Scrabble player - challenge me if you dare!

As a passionate cook and host, one of the joys in life that never fades is the company of friends and family over good food, wine, debate and laughter.
