ON, CANADA
British serial Entrepreneur and Marketing/Social Media Specialist with a unique, dynamic engaging style, available for keynote and other speaking opportunities

Raheela Nanji has an extremely strong Marketing background from the UK where she spent 16 years working in the private, public and charity sectors across B2B and B2C environments. Her career highlights include the strategic management of 9 million customer's data when she worked at Sky, where a large element of her role was to create a personalized marketing strategy for each of these customers based on company aspirations and customer performance.

In addition, to engage ethnic minorities, Raheela took it upon herself to produce and launch her own radio show whilst working at Age UK (one of the largest charities in the UK) as she saw that ethnic minorities were not being included in the overall strategy for the new radio station. The Happy Hour with Raheela aired every Sunday and did much to increase engagement with the target audience which contributed greatly to the aim of Age UK to end loneliness in older people in the UK.

In addition to a very strong marketing background, Raheela has also had her own businesses in the UK, Dubai, and now Canada.

To enhance her traditional marketing skills, Raheela decided that she wanted to embark on a Social Media programme when she arrived in Canada, and that is where the inspiration for Ree Consulting came from.

Since graduating, Raheela has founded Ree Consulting, which is a Social Media Consultancy providing Coaching and Consulting Services in Marketing and Social Media.

A growing part of her business is Speaking at events to raise awareness of the opportunities within Social Media, Marketing, Business Growth as well as highlighting potential areas of thought an growth for Entrepreneurs. Recent speaking opportunities include Schulich Business School and The Landscape Ontario Congress. She is also the guest speaker on Podcast that achieve 200,000 listeners.

Ree Consulting currently services clients in the UK and Canada in Food, Fashion, Finance and Film, and her clients include Jamie's Italian, which is part of the Jamie Oliver brand.

In her spare time, Raheela undertakes extensive voluntary work where, during her short time in Canada, she has launched an Internship Program, headed up the Skills and Employment Program for the Ismaili community, managed the Social Media for the World Partnership Walk, and is currently the Social Media Manager for a group of International Development Agencies. She is also a trained hula-hooping instructor, an avid cook and is, in her own words, 'enchanted by everything she experiences on a daily basis!'
