Media & SPEAKING

Interviews, Talks, Speaking, Mentions

Conversations about leadership, resilience, systems, and the human, inner work beneath our public lives.  

Riffat

I work at the intersection of leadership, systems, and human resilience.

Over the past two decades she has worked across academia, entrepreneurship, and international development, advising governments, institutions, and innovators navigating complex environments.

My work has taken me from research universities and innovation ecosystems to extended time in Afghanistan helping build governance, economic development, and institutional fragility.

Today, I speaks and write about leadership, resilience, power, and the personal discipline required to build stable lives and institutions in an unstable world.
