i work with organizations whose works celebrate the power of human potential

MY NAME IS THANIYA, WHICH MEANS “THE SECOND ONE” IN ARABIC. I AM A GLOBAL CITIZEN WITH INSATIABLE CURIOSITY. I HAVE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ABILITY THAT CAN TURN BIG VISIONS INTO REALITY.

I built the world’s first live streaming video subscription product before Youtube was invented. I am not an engineering leader. I catapulted TEDTalks’ digital footprint from a blog to a global media and events empire. I am not a product leader. I bridged the language divide across the world bringing English lessons into China for National Geographic. I am not an educator. I helped raised $60M to expand Patreon’s international footprint in funding the creative class. I am not a tech founder. I led an impact fund for the 2020 US Presidential Election. I am not a civic activist.

I believe in the power of dreams — ones that push at the edge of norms. Ones that open doors to a better world for everyone. Your dreams. I am a strategist and a leader working at the executive level to help you get there.
