Zaid Abuhouran

I’m a cross-sector strategist with 13 years of experience driving large-scale change across education, workforce development, digital transformation, and public policy. As a U.S. diplomat, I’ve led multi-million-dollar K-12 and postsecondary education initiatives, advised ministries, and collaborated with funders and product teams to scale inclusive, technology-enabled learning models.

I specialize in mobilizing cross-sector partnerships, aligning strategy with execution, and strengthening systems to expand access and improve outcomes. I bring deep expertise in operational strategy, cross-functional leadership, and navigating complex ecosystems to drive sustainable, measurable impact.

With an active Top Secret Security Clearance and a career grounded in equity and innovation, I remain committed to transforming systems through thoughtful policy, scalable design, and high-impact collaboration.
