“Lynx consultants are truly exceptional in their experience and expertise. Of all of the consulting sessions I have ever received, this was probably the most practical and effective. I came out with homework and action steps and that is all I want!”

Lynx consultants played a pivotal role in guiding ICBWorld through a critical phase of early organizational strategy and business development, especially during a time of uncertainty in the foreign assistance and development sector. With a calm and structured approach, she led our strategic operations process by reviewing historical documents, analyzing our current state, and creating a clear and actionable roadmap. Dr. Kateb helped shape the foundation of our organizational purpose—supporting the refinement of our mission, vision, and goals—while also structuring our Operations Team and facilitating productive, well-organized discussions. Her ability to clearly communicate priorities, encourage thoughtful collaboration, and offer gracious support helped us build resilience and position ICBWorld for long-term impact and sustainable growth.

Lynx provided consultancy services to inform our engagement of a strategic partner. They blended first-hand experience and know-how with an understanding of wider geopolitical priorities and trends to provide practical insights and strategic direction. They were quick, responsive and open to feedback, producing high quality outputs to time and to budget.

We found Lynx very easy to work with, consistently demonstrating a team- oriented, problem-solving attitude, a willingness to take on any task needed, trustworthy in delivering high quality output in a timely fashion, and ability to engage people of different levels and backgrounds. Given the increasing complexities in geopolitics and their implications in terms of opportunities & risks, I highly recommend taking advantage of Lynx knowledge and passion to gain a deeper understanding of these forces.

Lynx were thoughtful, strategic, and detail-oriented professionals who brought intellectual rigor and a calm, solutions-focused presence to every project. Their exceptional research acumen, sharp editorial instincts, and strategic thinking played a pivotal role in advancing several global programmatic and business development initiatives we collaborated on.

As Clinical Director I have been impressed by Lynx’s deep insights into international affairs and the geopolitical risks and opportunities that our clients face. No project or program was too hard for Lynx to tackle. Lynx is diligent and fun to work bringing expertise in the complexity and diversity of world events to provide workable business solutions to the challenges faced.

Lynx consultants played a critical role in guiding the Infectious Diseases Society of America Foundation (IDSA Foundation) through a vital phase of early organizational strategy and business development, specifically during a global pandemic. With a structured and methodological approach, Dr. Kateb led our team through a strategic organizational process and developed clear and actionable guidelines, programs and partnerships. She helped shape the foundation, ensuring that the strategic priorities were aligned with those of the larger medical society. Her ability to provide timely direction, clearly communicate strategic imperatives, create strategies from evidence based practices, and encourage thoughtful collaboration… significantly helped the IDSA Foundation build resilience and strategic growth.

Lynx consultants provided critical guidance to the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) from 2021-2023, during which time the organization sought to grow its work in health equity through an initiative focused on the health impacts of racism and gender discrimination in the workplace. Dr. Kateb was a crucial member of the team creating a philanthropic funding strategy for this new initiative; deep-diving into BWHI’s funding history and current capabilities, and crafting a strategic high-profile Foundation engagement plan. Not only did she identify new funding opportunities for the organization, she identified key players, set strategies around outreach and engagement, and prepared compelling LOIs to open these doors. Dr. Kateb is a true pleasure to work with, and the road maps she created for the organization are still in use, helping us continue to grow and make an impact on Black women and girls across the country.
