Our Team

Anne Wilson, Founder

I am an advocate for inclusive and safe technologies, a futurist, a lifetime student of human relationships and, through a career spanning several geographies and sectors, I have become deeply inspired by stories of people who have overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers.

IAWA is the culmination of months of research, discovery, reflection and meaningful conversations and is inspired by Ubuntu and the oral and written traditions of our heritage. It is our hope that the community we have built will serve to empower others.

My experience is in programme management, and I have extensive knowledge in planning, leading, and closing high-impact projects. I have worked with government agencies, NGOs, and private enterprises in both the UK and the Middle East. 

IAWA International is the result of my experience in my portfolio of projects, which includes research and storytelling.  I am so excited to see what the future holds for IAWA International, and I welcome you along this journey.
