About Jumuiya Consulting Group

Strategy grounded in experience.

Jumuiya Consulting Group—pronounced ju-MY-ah—brings systems thinking, resource strategy, and trusted advisory expertise to ambitious work.

Our Perspective

Expertise that delivers in complexity.

JCG partners with government, philanthropy, the private sector, institutions, and community-based organizations to translate bold priorities into strategies that can be implemented, measured, and sustained.

Our leadership combines experience shaping national systems with the practical focus and intentionality required to strengthen organizations, align resources, and deliver results.

Our Leadership

Capacity for the work.

JCG’s leadership team brings complementary strengths in strategy, systems change, organizational capacity, operations, and resource alignment.

Together, they pair strategic design with the operating systems required to carry the work. When JCG helps an institution stand up a technical-assistance program, Sarita shapes the strategy, program design, partnership structure, and community-engagement approach; Meosha develops the systems for project management, data tracking and analysis, monitoring, reporting, finance, compliance, and coordination. Their shared work includes environmental justice leadership planning and review of Community Benefits Plans for federal clean-energy demonstration projects.
