At AspireHer, our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) services are led by our CEO, Rana Alqrenawi, a recognised advocate, speaker and practitioner in inclusive leadership, women in tech, and organisational culture change.
Rana brings lived experience, strategic insight and deep sector expertise to help organisations move beyond performative DEI towards practical, measurable and human-centred change. Her work is grounded in the belief that inclusion is not only a moral imperative, but a critical driver of innovation, engagement, performance and sustainable growth.
Rana is a champion for diversity and inclusion, empowering voices and challenging systems that unintentionally exclude. As a senior tech leader and frequent conference speaker on women in tech and DEI, she combines personal insight with evidence-based practice to advocate for systemic, long-term change.
Her talks and programmes explore themes including:
Breaking gender stereotypes and structural barriers in the workplace
Addressing unconscious bias in recruitment, leadership and decision-making
Building inclusive hiring practices and equitable career pathways
Creating psychologically safe environments where people can thrive
Rana consistently highlights that diversity is not about representation alone, but about unlocking better thinking, stronger teams and more resilient organisations. Through real-world case studies and success stories, she showcases the impact of inclusive cultures and challenges outdated narratives about who belongs in tech and leadership.
Drawing on Rana’s extensive experience across technology, product, leadership and social enterprise, AspireHer partners with organisations to design and deliver DEI solutions tailored to their context and goals.
