Our Team 

Programme Director
Dr Hafsa Ahmed MNZM

Embracing the title of ‘The Optimistic Futurist,’ Hafsa uses Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ as the metaphor for her life as it showcases hope, possibility and belief in our ability to enhance lives and craft a brighter future. Leveraging her expertise as a leadership guide and futurist, she helps individuals and organisations examine their narratives to curate purpose-driven, intentional futures. Her diverse skill set also includes strategic foresight planning and change management.
