Who we are

Sami Berger

I work with organizations and initiatives that are striving to make a meaningful change and are interested in thinking critically about their strategy. My practice focuses on helping my clients understand their biggest strategic challenges and the opportunities to address them. My ultimate goal is for the learning that we do together to be applicable, reliable, and relevant to what you’re trying to achieve. I’m passionate about learning because of the profound effect that I’ve seen it have on our ability to question assumptions, verify our individual experiences, and guide the ways that we care.

I use qualitative research methods, including social network analysis, interviews, survey, and focus groups, to produce nuanced, deep, actionable recommendations. I have a Master’s degree in Social Anthropology from the London School of Economics.
