Ameena Ahmed

As director and lead social impact consultant behind Direct Path, Ameena Ahmed brings considerable cross-sector experience as a dynamic thinker for social good.

Her strategic partnership endeavours in children’s services at Tameside Borough Council, combined with a long-held director’s role in support charities such as Off the Record and Parenting 2000, all benefit the outcome-focused, change-facilitating and human-centred work she engages in through Direct Path.

A longstanding engagement with The Women’s Organisation – supporting start-ups and scaling women-led businesses – in the North West of England to maximise income and impact has seen her skills in transforming enterprises extend to the private sector (E.g. businesses). Working hands-on with purposeful, passionate and future-thinking individuals to create wider social change is where her most powerful work takes place.

Focusing her considerable energy on creating a flow of wealth which benefits society as a whole, Ameena’s undertakings engage changemakers in creating more innovative, influential and sustainable organisations.

Centred around a broader social vision which combines purpose, people and profit, her ambition with Direct Path is to expand the value we place on our work and impact as individuals, communities and societies.
