Samira Khan is a social impact changemaker + intrapreneur passionate about empathy-driven, innovative approaches to advancing societal wellbeing and solving global challenges.— This includes through tech, cross-sector business model innovation, art, education, & engagement.

She believes that unlocking human potential lies in true empowerment - one amazing way to unleash this potential, for the good of society, is social entrepreneurship + innovation. So, she does all that she can to support those worlds, and is interested in corporate social venturing + venture building, impact VC, & venture philanthropy. I’m especially committed to women, children, youth, marginalized communities, & cross-sector partnerships to address climate change.

However, we can’t even get support to those entrepreneurs or segments without shifting mindsets and behaviors/actions toward those vulnerable communities, especially amongst corporate changemakers. The key lies in more transparent access to info. and knowledge + the shared narrative written by the individuals & institutions involved. And this includes co-creating solutions, elevating creative voices, and illuminating the intersection of people & planet through cross-pollination of ideas.

Aspiring to drive greater capital commitments to the SDGs / sustainability and high value solutions that bring human beings closer to their purpose - whatever that may uniquely be. Keen on ethical / well-being tech.

~14 years of experience across continents + sectors, w/a commitment to learning & listening, holistic models, & systems change. Focus on Black & Brown communities in the US + Asia / emerging markets.

Specialties: Strategy development & implementation; interagency coordination / stakeholder engagement & facilitation; market / customer assessments; tech product innovation; CSR / social innovation; impact reporting; customer experience analyses; business development; monitoring, evaluation & learning / impact measurement & mgmt; sentiment analysis; economic pathways + education; gender; JEDI.

Her personal mission: "Empathy is the most powerful force to rewire hearts & minds for the greater wellbeing of society - without empathy, purpose means nothing and sustainability is impossible."
