About Jamila Siddiqui
I once asked my colleagues, “If the world were on fire, what is the one thing you would come straight to me for?”* Curiously, they all said something along the lines of “to lead us through it with a plan we could trust.”As your Chief of Staff and executive partner, I boost your ability to lead through the waves of change with the power of your vision, while I handle the power of strong execution.Executives love asking me to:“Figure out what’s going wrong and fix it.”“Think through this with me. How do we make sure this is successful?”“Help this person rise to the occasion—to lean into their strengths while getting ahead of their weaknesses.”“Get this group working at their peak potential.”My unique approach to “making it happen” is informed by 20 years of cross-sector experience—from business and research to counseling and nonprofit management. I create multi-dimensional solutions that are more likely to get at the heart of what’s going on and that resonate with a variety of audiences. My ability to pivot around an issue from multiple angles makes me a strategic thought partner who fuels ethical leadership, effective change management, and staff empowerment.I work with values-aligned organizations and leaders. Connect with me to chat about how we can partner.*Inspired by Caroline Wanga’s incredible speech, “Authenticity: Who you are is non-negotiable.”
