Who We Are

Noah Ventures is the independent consulting platform of Amani El-Negery.

Over the past decade, Amani has lived and worked across the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, collaborating with leadership teams, organizations, and partners in more than 47 countries. Her background includes senior leadership roles within international NGOs, including serving as the most senior leader of a grassroots organization in Greece during the height of the Syrian refugee crisis, and later working in New York with one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations on global initiatives, convenings, and partnerships.

Across these roles she has designed leadership retreats, international conferences, and stakeholder roundtables that have helped organizations raise significant funding, shape flagship reports, and align teams around complex international work.

She holds a master’s degree in International Humanitarian Action and has spent much of her career building relationships across institutions and cultures to create the environments where people can work together productively.

Along the way, she has learned that while cultures and systems may differ, the things that move people forward are remarkably universal: trust, humor, and a shared sense of purpose.

Noah Ventures was created as a consulting platform to support organizations during moments of growth, collaboration, or change.

I work with organizations that bring people together around important ideas — through leadership retreats, strategic team offsites, stakeholder roundtables, international convenings, and collaborative initiatives.

Sometimes the work focuses on designing events where conversations can happen that might not otherwise take place. Other times it involves helping organizations align partners, navigate complex initiatives, or create the structure needed for a project to move forward.

Because the right conversation, with the right people, at the right time, can change everything.

Much of my background comes from working across cultures in the humanitarian and development sector, where organizations often operate within systems shaped by donor priorities, political dynamics, institutional relationships, and regional contexts.

Working in these environments has shaped the way I approach every project.

I understand the differences that come with regions, institutions, and ways of working, but I’m equally interested in what connects people across those differences.

My work often involves helping diverse groups find alignment, build trust, and move forward together.

It means keeping perspective, bringing a sense of possibility to difficult challenges, and helping teams see what’s achievable when the right people are working toward a shared goal.

Progress often begins when someone is willing to imagine what doesn’t yet exist.
