OUR WHY
Our world is going through deep transformations which are accelerated by digital disruptions and Covid-19 pandemic.
At the heart of the paradigm shift we are currently experiencing, a deep human transformation is ongoing letting go the world we know behind us.
Leaders are now called to reinvent public and private organizations to adapt to 21st century human challenges, society shifts and new paradigms.
Humanaya is the combination of "Humana" and "ya", which means "Human now" in spanish.
Because we do believe that it's time for organizations to connect individual and collective purpose with business,
our mission is to unleash human potential and help new organizational models emerge.
We support authentic leaders to build new generation organizations through powerful and authentic human connections.
OUR VISION
We believe that successful organizations of the new era will be driven by purpose and mindfulness.
We observe that human organizational models that will emerge in coming years are being thought and designed now.
We feel that collective intelligence across multiple disciplines (art, philosophy, economics, politics, therapy, neurosciences....)
is the key to design the future of work and society.
We think that authentic leaders, because they lead with theirs hearts and their heads, will be major actors in this collective transformation path.
They will inspire, empower and lead organizations to shift to purpose-driven and human-centric new models.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to unleash human potential and help authentic leaders build new generation organizations.

OUR FOUNDER

Dounia Zellou
Founder & CEO of Humanaya
Dounia Zellou founded Humanaya in 2020 after experiencing high pressure workplace environments, burnout and self-introspection.
She worked for 8 years in Private Banking & Asset Management industry, where she had various roles in Operations, Marketing, Consulting and Management. After leading transformation programs for various international banks, she turned into her own personal transformation driven by her childhood dream to become an entrepreneur.
Through her journey she realized that purpose and money were highly dissociated in collective beliefs. And yet happy and accomplished human beings doing what they love are far more creative and performing than when "just doing a job".
Dounia founded Humanaya to unleash human potential and support the emergence of new organizational models built around purpose and human consciousness development. Humanaya's solutions offer is developed and inspired by Dounia's expertise and experiences, based on a holistic, human-centered and multidimensional approach.
