I’m Sahar, a first-generation Muslim Pakistani woman from New York - who was called westward a few years ago and now calls sunny LA home.

I am a strategic consultant who specializes in building impactful organizations from the ground up. My career has been a deliberate journey across sectors - from leading multi-million dollar fundraising campaigns at non-profits, to navigating complex regulatory landscapes in big tech, to developing global advocacy strategies at for international policy organizations.

This unique cross-sectoral experience has given me a special skill: the ability to create order and momentum for mission-driven ventures. I don't just advise, I love to roll up my sleeves and build the operational infrastructure - the fundraising engines, partnership pipelines, and strategic plans - that turn a powerful idea into a sustainable, scalable reality.

My approach is rooted in the belief that the most powerful work happens at the intersection of heart and hustle, in true New Yorker fashion. I co-founded an education nonprofit called 260by26 in my early 20’s and have worked for various organization since, now leverage that hands-on experience to serve a diverse clientele, including:

• Scrappy non-profits needing to structure their growth and funding.

• Social enterprises building their brand and impact model.

• Businesses and brands seeking to develop and communicate authentic social impact.

• Philanthropists and investors looking to deploy capital effectively.

Above all, I am driven by a desire to collaborate with good people who have aligned values. As a Muslim, I am deeply committed to justice, community, and integrity in every partnership.

If you have a vision for change and need a partner to build the bridge to get there, let's connect.
