Shaping Impact through strategy, culture and systems

“Supporting organisations and leaders to design for social impact and long-term change”

I am Elena Wangurra, an Impact Consultant and Cultural Strategist working at the intersection of strategy, culture, and systems change. My career has been dedicated to guiding organisations through growth and transformation, while ensuring cultural safety and integrity remain at the centre of the work.

With experience spanning governance, strategic design, and community impact, I help leaders and organisations navigate complexity, strengthen their structures, and embed practices that create long-term value. My approach draws on both lived experience and professional expertise, bridging corporate, government, and community contexts.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating meaningful change — supporting organisations to align vision with action, and impact with integrity.
