Zandi’s mastery of change management, partnership, and stakeholder engagement reshaped our organizational culture. She brought management and clarity to our senior leadership team, enhanced operational efficiency, and built the strategic foundation needed to secure new programs for hundreds of vulnerable individuals.
Porta-Sloane Advisory delivered exactly what was promised: decisive executive authority, deep financial and governance discipline, and a clear, sustainable roadmap for our incoming permanent leadership. For any non-profit board navigating transition, restructuring, or complex operational change, Porta-Sloane Advisory is the partner you want leading the way.

Zandi was at all times a skilled and effective 2 way communicator, taking time to listen and respond carefully and in a supportive manner, explaining the rationale behind decisions and strategies, acting to support the team, upholding the organisation’s standards and good reputation, and ensuring smooth and satisfactory relationships with, and positive outcomes for, the commissioning body and related partnership agencies & professionals. Sometimes this meant influencing and motivating colleagues to carry out required tasks with which they disagreed, but which had been deemed necessary as part of a “bigger picture” in terms of local & national social policy.
In my opinion, and from my experience, Zandi is a skilled and highly competent administrator, organiser, manager and motivator. Her intelligence, integrity, commitment and sense of equity are beyond question, and she will prove to be an excellent asset to anybody fortunate to employ her, especially in a senior capacity where her attributes can be utilised to enhance and improve performance & participation at all levels.
