Sahra Noor

Welcome to Grit Partners, where our commitment is to empower international development, global health, and social impact organizations to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful change.

I am Sahra Noor, and my passion lies in supporting health and social impact leaders to master the inner game of leadership and navigate change, enabling them to focus on what truly matters — creating positive impacts worldwide.
With a career spanning over 15 years, I have moved from the bedside as a nurse to the pinnacle of success as an award-winning CEO of a U.S.-based community health organization. Drawing upon academic knowledge, unique experiences, and practical skills that have propelled my leadership and career forward, I offer advice and solutions that work in the real world .

My quest to make a meaningful difference in the lives of less privileged people brought me back to Africa, leading me into consulting and coaching. We take pride in the fact that our consulting work extends beyond borders and sectors, taking us from the heart of U.S. healthcare to the vibrant communities of Kenya and the challenging landscapes of post-conflict Somalia, my native country. Each experience has been a lesson in creative problem-solving, fostering trust, and building bonds that surpass language, culture, and trepidation.

Grit defines both my personal and professional journey, exemplifying the power of resilience and determination to solve complex problems against all odds. At Grit Partners, we believe that every life we touch and every client we partner with has the potential for transformation, regardless of the circumstances.
