CEO, Global Center for Human Development (GCHD)

 As CEO of the Global Center for Human Development, I focus on how organizations make decisions, carry responsibility, and remain reliable under pressure.

My work is grounded in a simple observation: organizational harm rarely begins with bad intent. It begins when systems make it difficult for people to act on what they know is right. Over time, complexity, hierarchy, speed, and automation quietly reshape judgment, often without anyone noticing until trust is already strained. This insight led to the creation of HumanEQ™, GCHD’s framework for embedding empathy into organizational systems so ethical clarity and accountability do not depend on individual effort alone.

I hold a PhD in Adult Education and Human Resources Development and bring more than fifteen years of experience in organizational behavior, workforce diversity, and interpersonal communication. As an educator, consultant, and organizational designer, I have worked across classrooms, nonprofits, and institutions navigating significant change. In every setting, I have seen the same pattern: when systems are poorly designed, even committed leaders struggle to protect dignity, trust, and responsibility.

Alongside my work at GCHD, I founded the Oaknna Foundation, which supports humanitarian and empowerment initiatives in Sudan, including Art by Blind, an initiative that creates economic pathways for visually impaired individuals through craft and design. This work continues to shape how I think about the real consequences of organizational decisions and the responsibility institutions carry, even when those affected are far from view.

I do not approach organizations as a motivator or personality. I approach them as a systems thinker concerned with how structure shapes judgment.

At GCHD, we work with organizations that are willing to examine how their systems influence decisions and to strengthen those systems where human and ethical responsibility are most at risk.
