Arun Verma

I am a leading figure in implementing and integrating intersectionality in systems, policy and programmes both nationally and internationally.

I am a strategic leader in co-creating and implementing equity, diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality initiatives into meaningful applications across programme, policy, people and culture functions.

Using evidence, learning, design and participatory methods, I have empowered teams and people to advocate for diversity and inclusion. I have the tenacious ability to transform complexity into meaningful insights to enable national and international intersectionality, diversity and inclusion programmes and policy to influence, improve and impact at scale whilst developing partnerships to increase funding opportunities for an organisation.

I am a confident public speaker with the ability to empower, build confidence, engage, and connect with diverse audiences including staff, media and with partners and deliver keynotes across the world.

As an innovator, I am a relational and ethical thought leader that embraces systems thinking, complexity and creativity to achieve strategic vision and create positive social change against critical challenges facing marginalised communities.
