Where ideas travel,

people connect,

and innovation grows

Hi, I’m Rashedia

Founder | Global Innovation Researcher & Growth Strategist

Imagine a world where we come together, each of us bringing our unique skills, ideas, and insights to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues.

A world where innovation begins with humanity, where collaboration turns vision into action, and where bold ideas have the power to transform the world we live in.

Think hunger, housing, access to clean water, expanding economic opportunity and even how we shape the role of AI in our shared future — and more.

After 15 years of working for some of the world’s largest organizations across various industries that shape innovation ecosystems (MIT Sloan), I’ve often asked myself how entrepreneurs, researchers, corporations, investors, governments and communities can work together to solve some of these very issues.

And while I still have more questions than answers, I know one thing for certain: progress doesn’t happen in silos. It lives in stories, in relationships, and in the courage to imagine something new.

Boldly Connected is my space to explore that — to connect the dots between people, ideas, and opportunity, to reimagine what’s possible, and to build pathways for a future that makes a better life for us all.

Here, I’ll share reflections from the books I’m reading, the articles and insights I’m discovering, and the stories of people I meet around the world who are reimagining what’s possible in their communities.

I also partner with clients on an exclusive basis to connect the dots across strategy, partnerships, and innovation - helping them design growth that’s meaningful, sustainable, and rooted in connection.

The world changes when people and ideas connect.

  • Every bold idea starts with a spark, a question, a vision, or a dream about what’s possible.


    At Boldly Connected, we believe dreaming isn’t a luxury. It’s the starting point of every movement, innovation, and breakthrough. This is where ideas take root, inspired by curiosity, community, and a shared desire to make a difference.

  • Ideas become powerful when they’re shared, shaped, and brought to life.

    Through storytelling, collaboration, and research, Boldly Connected helps innovators, thinkers, and changemakers build frameworks that turn insight into action. Together, we’re building bridges between people, sectors, and possibilities, one bold connection at a time.

  • Growth happens when people and ideas move - across borders, industries, and perspectives.


    We’re cultivating a global ecosystem where innovation thrives through shared knowledge, human connection, and bold collaboration. Here, growth isn’t just about scale. It’s about depth, understanding, and the ripple effect of ideas that inspire real change.

Got a big idea, a bold vision, or just want to talk global innovation over coffee?

Let’s connect and see where our conversation can take us.
