Zithri Ahmed Saleem, Ph.D.
Information and Learning Scientist • Social Impact Advisor
I work to close the gap between what we imagine technology can do and what people actually experience.
For nearly three decades, I've worked alongside leaders across business, government, education, and communities to tackle difficult problems and create meaningful change.
My approach brings together research, design, and practical experience—from shaping early ideas to developing programs and systems, evaluating their impact, and understanding how they affect people's lives.
