About Lori Nishiura MacKenzie

I help leaders build inclusive, high-performing teams and organizations where people thrive — because belonging and performance, done well, reinforce each other. With experience across Fortune 10s, startups, global NGOs, and top universities, I bring strategic and doable approaches to solving complex leadership and culture challenges. I also work with individuals navigating the unwritten rules of work — helping them build career pathways where their knowledge, expertise, and lived experience allow them to contribute fully. As co-founder of the Stanford VMware Women\'s Leadership Innovation Lab, I lead initiatives at the intersection of inclusive leadership and organizational performance. My work has shaped how leaders and institutions think about culture, equity, and belonging — featured in the film bias, honored by BBC\'s 100 Women, and recognized with the CEDAW Award for Education. Board member, advisor, speaker, and strategist — I\'ve learned that good leadership is learnable, and we all have the potential to grow into it.
