Naza Alakija is a strategic advisor who helps decision-makers, institutions and investors think clearly and turn strategy into results. She works at the intersection of capital, government and impact, functioning as a point of contact across sectors that don’t always speak the same language. Drawing on direct experience in demanding environments, Naza helps build relationships, turn ambitious ideas into practical collaborations and shape the platforms where institutions engage.

Naza also supports initiatives which provide emergency care and long-term development aid plans. During the pandemic, Naza led several emergency interventions to provide food, hygiene and essential education to vulnerable communities in the Middle East and Africa, including 84 tons of soap distributed to 350,000 people in Afghanistan in partnership with UNICEF, and feeding thousands of families in Lagos during the lockdown.

Working across frontline humanitarian initiatives alongside high-level strategic advisory roles has informed Naza’s practical understanding of how capital, policy and partnership can work together to address complex global challenges.
