Message from the Principal and Chief Visionary Officer

Issa’s professional career and personal life have been focused on leadership, advocacy, and public service. As a dedicated public servant, advocate, leader, and fluent speaker of French, Wolof, and English, he has personally empowered hundreds of individuals and organizations through consulting and coaching. Issa is an internationally renowned professional who has garnered substantial education and experience and has risen to the very top of his fields of endeavors.

As an immigrant having grown up in Senegal, West Africa, and later immigrating to the United States, Issa believes that success is not solely measured financially, but also through relentlessly giving a helping hand to others — family members, friends, neighbors and community members — so them, too, can achieve similar educational and/or professional momentum. Issa first received his Associate’s degree from North Seattle Community College. He then went on to receive his Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Puget Sound. He later received his Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Washington. In the many years that he has lived in Washington State, Issa has built a home and support system here and is dedicated to serving governments, corporations, and individuals around the world.
