Rania Adwan is obsessed with designing systemic change that makes our power structures more fair, just, and equitable. She’s been especially focused on police reform, working with City leaders, oversight agencies, and law enforcement.

When she’s not gently pushing cops to do better and be better, she partners with leaders, encouraging and supporting transformation and cultural change.

Her insatiable curiosity and passion for connection fueled her career as a journalist and editor early on. She’s since strung together some incredible adventures (growing a Fortune 100 company by influencing and convincing partners on new work streams) and experiences (coaching a royal family member on her first public speaking engagement) into a unique professional trajectory. She has been a diplomatic and trusted confidante to public and private sector leaders with experience spanning the Middle East, Asia, the US, the UK, and the Caribbean.
