Waqas Sattar, Chief Operating and Financial Officer at Finova Capital LLC, is a standout mentor whose approach focuses on building confidence and fostering autonomy. He believes the most fulfilling part of mentoring is “Seeing someone trade self-doubt for momentum — because you listened, gave honest feedback and believed in the potential they couldn’t yet see.”
Sattar’s method is built on open conversations and transparent feedback, providing mentees with space to act, decide and reflect. A notable success story involves a senior manager who overcame self-doubt to become an indispensable leader and a mentor in his own right. Sattar’s commitment to nurturing future leaders and fostering confidence makes his mentorship truly impactful and a model for others to follow in the equipment finance industry.
