I’m Navid, the founder of OnPurpose Careers. My career journey began more than 15 years ago in career advising, took me internationally to Singapore where I worked in education, and eventually led me into the nonprofit sector developing workforce programs. While working in talent acquisition, I noticed a troubling pattern: talented professionals in mission-driven fields were consistently undervalued and underpaid.

That realization sparked my mission. I saw firsthand how the belief that meaningful work requires financial sacrifice was holding people back. Through OnPurpose Careers, I help purpose-driven professionals align their careers with their values while securing the compensation they deserve.

I focus on creative, data-driven approaches that increase donations while enhancing engagement, strengthening relationships, and establishing thought leaders within their industries.
