Zaheera Mukadam

I’m Zaheera Mukadam, founder of Intentional Tenacity. With over two decades of experience across national and international organisations, I’ve dedicated my career to developing people, driving cultural transformation, and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I hold a BSc and an MSc in Psychology, which have provided me with a deep understanding of behaviour and the tools to effectively support individuals and organisations.

As a seasoned senior leader in retail and the charity sector, and as Chairperson of the Board for an award-winning Women’s Refuge, I’m uniquely positioned to help organisations cultivate environments that foster belonging, equity, and empowerment. I’ve built expertise in designing and delivering impactful learning programs, cultivating talent, and transforming workplace cultures to prioritise equity, belonging, and wellbeing.

I’ve developed industry-specific wellbeing support programs that have achieved fantastic adoption rates, embedding resilience and care into the heart of business operations.
