History

Zenev and Associates was founded in 2004. We found that many workplaces and communities were committed to enhancing diversity and inclusion but were not sure how to begin and where to focus their efforts. Initiatives to enhance equity were often fragmented and ad hoc rather than coordinated and strategic.

We began to develop a comprehensive suite of consulting services that could be used to advance inclusion and equity in a more systematic way.

For more than two decades, we have been applying our knowledge, skills and expertise to support organizations to collaboratively plan and implement effective and sustainable solutions.
