Built numerous communities and movements around mission-driven organizations.
Together, we can turn your mission into a roadmap, aligning every activity with measurable outcomes so your team and stakeholders can track real progress, quarter after quarter.
Global politics are shifting, and so are the narratives of power and economy. Purpose-driven alliances between NGOs, academia, industry, corporates and bilaterals, are creating cross-continental collaborations that scale solutions and open new markets. Let's explore how you can play a part in building the future of collaborative growth.
I'll guide you in identifying the right donors, designing grant packages, and creating pitches that convert intent into multi-year funding from diverse sources.
Whether you need a network of volunteers, an educational cohort, or a peer-learning circle, I architect communities with purpose: clear onboarding journeys, governance models, and engagement rituals that keep members motivated and multiplying.
From high-energy virtual meetups to complex in-person gatherings, I handle the full arc—concept, speaker curation, run-of-show, tech logistics, and post-event storytelling—so your audience leaves inspired and your objectives hit their mark.
I translate complex impact into narratives that move hearts — and funding. From multilingual magazine-quality feature articles, interviews and op-eds, to interactive reports and keynote decks, I help to craft editorial momentum that gives your mission a clear, memorable voice.
Give your staff and stakeholders future-ready skills. I (sometimes with partners) build modular curricula—foresight, & decolonial innovation—and deliver engaging virtual or in-person sessions. Let me hear the areas you want to work on and let's build those skills up.
My non-profit, Sur Global, partners with universities, NGOs, start-ups, corporates and bilaterals around the world to co-create, research, pilot programs and thought-leadership content.
If you’re looking for a decolonial, futures-driven ally to amplify impact, we’re ready to explore joint funding bids, co-branded labs, or cross-regional initiatives that merge your expertise with ours.
