Aziza Javed

Aziza started her career at PwC and spent 5 years in audit and assurance in London, working primarily with media clients. She subsequently moved into industry joining advertising agency Dentsu, initially to build out the newly established financial planning & analysis head office function and subsequently led multiple projects delivering transformational change across financial systems and reporting. She is a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and holds an MSc in International Management from Kings College London, writing her dissertation topic on the impact of nationality upon corporate social responsibility in the fashion industry. Growing up in a clothing manufacturing family business, it was her exposure to the industry?s operations that first brought to attention the risks to a sustainable future. During visits to workshops in Pakistan she learnt first-hand the poor conditions labourers, predominantly female had to contend with for their livelihoods as well as the significant wastage of materials and water the industry seemingly relied upon. Aziza joins On Purpose after a planned career break to raise her family and is thrilled to make the transition into the impact sector where she hopes to use her skills, strengths and experience to work towards goals that are aligned to her personal values. She is passionate about marginalised communities, female empowerment, responsible sourcing, sustainability and wildlife conservation. Away from work, Aziza is happiest when exploring the great outdoors or perusing new restaurant menus. She loves adventure travel, wildlife watching and silly fun with her young children.
