Hello!
I'm Riwa. I help humans, communities, and organizations align with what truly matters - the ultimate precursor to meaningful and sustainable growth.
With 15+ years in executive strategy, foresight, and facilitation, I’ve helped leaders navigate uncertainty, shape clear visions, and bring bold ideas to life. I’ve served as Chief Strategy Officer at psychedelic and wellness investor Woven Science, Chief of Strategy and Partnerships at deep tech investor Oxford Science Enterprises, and MD & Head of Growth Strategy at innovation and foresight firm Idea Couture.
Rooted in systems thinking and guided by a multi-modal creative practice, my work blends analytical rigor with intuitive clarity, spanning brand and business strategy, storytelling, community-building, and experience design.
FACILITATION
Strategic alignment at the leadership level is essential for momentum. I design and facilitate executive sessions that foster clarity, resolve tensions, and support confident decision-making. Whether refining your vision, navigating inflection points, or aligning on brand and growth, I help leadership teams reach consensus and move forward with purpose.
FRACTIONAL CMO / CSO
For companies not ready for a full-time hire but in need of high-level strategic guidance, I step in as a fractional Chief Strategy or Marketing Officer. I hold the standard on execution, translate vision into actionable plans, and guide internal teams and external partners toward aligned outcomes. This model offers seasoned leadership on a flexible, episodic basis, precisely when and where it’s needed most.
STRATEGIC COMMS
For companies with a clear strategy but no translation layer, I help shape how the brand shows up in the world. From verbal identity and messaging to investor decks, press, and partnerships—I ensure coherence across every touchpoint. It’s not just communications; it’s how your company speaks, signals, and scales.
WORKSHOP // FUTURE-PROOF POSITIONING
In this 60-minute workshop we dive into how to build a brand that lasts. Rooted in foresight, authenticity, and strategic clarity, the session explores why a strong theory of change and deep conviction are the foundations of long-term differentiation. Participants will leave with a simple framework and a fresh perspective.
B2B BRAND SPRINT
This is a fast, focused approach to brand strategy for early-stage companies who need clarity without the agency bloat. It’s designed for businesses ready to define who they are and how they show up—quickly, meaningfully, and with polish. With nearly 2 decades of cross-industry experience, I bring the strategic depth of a seasoned advisor and the efficiency of a co-founder.

ESSAYS
The Meaning Collective is my attempt at meaning-making in ‘unprecedented times’ . It’s also a personal invitation into deeper inquiry so that we might engage with less speed, more nuance and a wider aperture for mind and heart. More thoughtful conversation, less screaming into the void - ya feel me?
