Reem Alamiri

Reem Alamiri joined NRDC’s Office of Strategy and Results during its inception in September 2022 and works closely with NRDC’s executive team and advocacy leaders to refine the organization’s strategic vision and goals to meet rapidly evolving needs. This work includes facilitating annual processes for refreshing and adapting our approaches. Alamiri’s role is central to the evolution of NRDC into its new era as a large, diverse nonprofit with broad reach and a unique suite of capabilities to bring to bear on complex, intersectional environmental issues. 

With growth, increased investment in systems for integration and consistent focus on priorities are required to keep organizations nimble and positioned for greatest impact. The Office of Strategy and Results works closely with every major function in NRDC to build their strategic muscles in regularly refining areas of work, focusing resources in areas of highest impact, and articulating the meaningful progress made on challenging issues along the way. 

Before NRDC, Alamiri spent over a decade as a senior strategist at Deloitte Consulting, where her clients included international donor organizations, nonprofits, the U.S. government, and foreign ministries and municipalities. There she worked to strengthen their core missions through improved planning processes, data-informed decision making, and greater cohesion of resources and services to serve common goals. The vast majority of Alamiri’s projects focused on environment and infrastructure services, including resource conservation, renewable energy, waste management, water management, urban resilience, and environmental health projects. Prior to her time at Deloitte, Alamiri worked at the Brookings Institution’s Wolfensohn Center for Development, the Aga Khan Foundation, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, forming a strong passion for environment and equity-centered work early in her career. 

Alamiri graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s in environmental studies and a master’s of public policy. She is based out of the Washington, D.C., office, is a proud Iraqi American, and speaks Spanish and Arabic to stay in touch with her home communities.
