Zithri Ahmed Saleem, Ph.D.

Information and Learning Scientist • Organizational & AI Modernization Consultant

I am an information and learning scientist focused on improving how leaders, institutions, and communities experience technological change.


My work connects scholarship with nearly three decades of experience in education, organizational leadership, and community development.
Through applied research projects, teaching, and public content production, I explore how leaders, institutions, and communities learn; and how we can build systems that better serve the people who depend on them.

RESEARCH

How do leaders make sense of change—and translate what they learn into impact?

Designing Solutions that Make A Difference

Since 1997, my work developing information and learning solutions has won national awards and garnered sizable investments, including those from Microsoft, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, Social Venture Partners (SVP), the Ashoka Foundation, Adobe, Facebook, Blue Meridian Partners, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
