Case Studies
Meaningful Outcomes & Client Experiences.
Zithri Ahmed Saleem, MSIS
Principal Consultant | Information and Learning Systems
Building Organizational Capacity and Long-term Value for Clients and Communities.
I selectively work with corporations, universities, K-12 schools, small businesses, nonprofits, philanthropy, and government agencies based on shared values, ethics, and a commitment to impacting marginalized communities. My approach ensures that each project leverages multiple perspectives and resources, driving meaningful, sustainable change for those often overlooked in mainstream efforts.

Delivered Actionable Experience Design Insights!

Challenge: Conduct study of intensive undergraduate engineering education program for newly admitted cadets and provide recommendations for program improvements including considerations for diversity and inclusion in recruitment pipelines.
“Without his expertise and creative assessment of our emerging program in the STEM/Diversity/Leadership field, we would not have been able to make the progress and long view projections we now have in place for the next five years. I’ve worked with many consultants in the K-16 arena and Zithri is, without question, best in class.”
