Who we are

Qudsia Raja
Founder & CEO

With over 15 years of experience across the nonprofit, tech, philanthropic, and policy sectors, I bring a unique blend of executive leadership, cross-sector collaboration, and a deep commitment to justice and belonging to every partnership I cultivate. My work has spanned the C-suite to the grassroots—guiding culture transformation in global tech companies, shaping federal public policy, securing millions in philanthropic investment, and building equity-centered strategies that create lasting systemic change.

I’ve had the privilege of serving in leadership roles such as Chief DEI Officer, VP of Public Policy and Equity Initiatives, and Director of DEI in organizations navigating rapid growth, complex social challenges, and the urgent need for transformation. Whether driving enterprise-wide diversity strategies in the corporate world, advising boards on equitable governance, or leading national legislative advocacy efforts, my approach centers empathy, data, and community engagement.

My consulting practice is rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when strategy, equity, and human-centered design come together. I support organizations in reimagining their cultures, aligning values with action, and building infrastructures for justice that are not only visionary but operationally sound. Clients turn to me for guidance on:

  • Equity, Belonging & Inclusion Strategy

  • Organizational Development and Culture Change

  • Public Policy Advocacy and Strategic Communications

  • Philanthropy, Fund Development, and Donor Engagement

  • Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Impact

  • Executive Coaching and Strategic Advising

As a seasoned board leader, trauma-informed direct services provider and former grassroots organizer, I understand the nuances of systems and the hearts of the people who move them. My practice is relational, thoughtful, and fiercely committed to outcomes that honor people and purpose. Whether you’re navigating internal change, scaling your social impact, or striving to lead with more integrity and intention, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Let’s build something transformational—together.
