Tracy Harmoush is a former investment banker turned growth mindset speaker & entrepreneur whose focus lies in fitness. In spite of “social pressure to consider”, Tracy made the bold decision to shift direction from the 9-5 corporate world to build her fitness brand. Her app, Untraceable, shares a holistic approach to health and wellness, integrating Tracy’s expertise and passion for fitness into customised workout plans and nutritional guidance. Tracy is emerging as a key speaker in leadership and self-development, thanks to her Podcast “What They Don’t Tell Us” where she interviews thought leaders to provide her listeners with the tools to shape their mindset.
