Iveren Ityoikaa builds pathways between people, ideas, capital, and power. At Ashoka, she works across Africa and its global diaspora to build partnerships that turn participation into influence and social innovation into systems change. She brings together changemakers, diaspora leaders, philanthropists, institutions, and communities to unlock resources, open new pathways to decision-making, and help powerful ideas travel further. Her work is grounded in a conviction that having a voice is not the same as having influence. For Iveren, an Everyone a Changemaker world is ultimately an Everyone a Decision Maker world - one where people have not only the agency to create change, but a meaningful role in shaping the decisions that affect their lives and communities. With a background spanning engineering, management consulting, entrepreneurship, and social innovation, Iveren is passionate about building the relationships, institutions, and possibilities that enable more people to shape the future they want to see.
