Mona Bavar

Founder/CEO

Mona Bavar grew up at the intersection of two worlds: Iran, where ancient traditions and storytelling are deeply rooted in the culture, and America, a land of innovation and limitless possibility. This dual heritage taught her early on the power of bridging seemingly opposing ideas—wisdom and innovation, humanity and technology, creativity and strategy.

As an entrepreneur, Mona has built her life around connecting these dots. With BlueApples.ai, she helps leaders and businesses harness AI not as a cold tool but as a partner that amplifies creativity, innovation, and authenticity. For her, it’s not just about staying ahead in a rapidly changing world—it’s about shaping a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.

Through DLISH, Mona has transformed sensory storytelling into a business that connects people across cultures through curated luxury gifting. Whether through a gift box or a dining experience, she believes every moment has the power to tell a story and forge meaningful connections.

Mona aims to inspire audiences to blend their own stories, creativity, and vision with modern tools like AI to thrive in 2025 and beyond. Her passion lies in helping others see that the future of business isn’t about choosing between innovation and authenticity—it’s about integrating the two to create something truly transformative.
