At Sangira, we care about both the external and internal contexts of strategy and how these fit with the competitive environment. We are corporate strategists and organizational development practitioners, solving problems through a combination of hard skills and soft skills. We help to conceive strategy and to implement strategy. We work internationally and locally.

Based in New York City, Sangira draws on the skills of a variety of independent consulting professionals from specific disciplines. We can work remotely, on-site at a client’s office or in any international location, as the project requires.
