About

Reena De Asis is a values-driven leader, strategic communicator, and advocate for inclusive systems change. Her work centers on building campaigns, partnerships, and community-driven initiatives that advance equity, dismantle systemic barriers, and amplify underrepresented voices.

With a background spanning executive leadership in nonprofits, mission-driven companies, and government collaborations, Reena brings a proven ability to turn community insight into action through storytelling, cross-sector engagement, and systems-level strategies. Her professional journey includes leadership roles at Dress for Success Worldwide-West, Causecast, L.A.
