About

Vanja Pantic headshot

Hi, I’m Vanja


I have over a decade of diverse, global experience working across the nonprofit, government, and business sectors. This means I can tap into a variety of approaches that might otherwise be siloed in an individual sector and apply them cross-sector, cross-thematic areas, and do the intersectional work that's needed to move the dial on systems change.

We’ll work together to look at your ecosystem from a birds-eye view and extract the most important takeaways and patterns to create communications strategies grounded in (local) realities.

Whatever your sector, you’ll be in good hands. I’ve worked across some of the most pressing issues of our time, including migration, placemaking and urban development, climate action, technology, and democracy.  

I have been recognized as an Aspen Ideas Fellow and Fulbright Scholar for my work to bridge divides and bring ideas into action, and have been published by Apolitical, Democracy Paradox, the International Journal of Sociology, New Local, and others.
