Moving Beyond was started in 2018 by Aparna Rae and Jane Reisman. We began as a response to the challenge in the ecosystem of operationalizing DEI in and throughout the core work of organizations. We are a collective of practitioners spanning a range of expertise—including strategic planning, evaluation and measurement, training, facilitation, coaching, and building dynamic learning systems.  We incorporate these diverse talents and strengths to push each other and our clients in achieving their goals.
