About Amina
The Finance Executive Who Engineers Inclusion
Amina Djirdeh is a finance executive, professor, and CEO of Global Mastery Partners—a strategic consultancy that helps organizations turn inclusion into competitive advantage.
The Background
With experience spanning investment banking, equity research, and private equity, Amina brings a finance executive’s analytical approach to inclusion strategy. She holds an MBA in Finance from the Rotman School of Management and teaches finance and accounting at Trent University, Niagara University, and Brandon University.
The Approach
Amina doesn’t do “feel-good” DEI training. She approaches inclusion the way a finance executive approaches market problems: audit the system, identify the gaps, implement solutions, measure results.
Her work is built on three principles:
Systems Over Sentiment
Data Over Declarations
ROI Over Rhetoric
The Mission
Amina’s goal: prove that inclusion drives business results. She works with finance firms, universities, and corporations to build systems that retain diverse talent, unlock innovation, and create competitive advantage.
