We are conduits of growth. Through deepened awareness, we support organizations in utilizing the tools we provide for sustainable success. We are a company that specializes in aligning an organization to realize its greatest potential where its values and intentions align with its policies, procedures, and culture.
WHERE WE STARTED
With an interdisciplinary degree in African and African American studies from Mount Holyoke College, Birungi Ives started in social impact work and community development as the first communication liaison between Nottingham City Council and the Afro-Caribbean community in Nottingham, England.
At the start of Mommy Blogging, Birungi Ives founded a digital lifestyle magazine, the Global Echo Online Forum, which celebrated brands, individuals, and organizations contributing to our global good. Her first interviews were with Christy Turlington Burns about Every Mother Counts and Cindy Crawford about Women's Empowerment. She test-drove and featured eco-friendly vehicles by General Motors and TESLA. She built relationships with organizations such as the United Nations Foundation and Habitat for Humanity. She grew the publication to cover major Los Angeles and New York events. However, she wanted to have a greater positive impact. She utilized her established relationships to help others and started Aligne Consulting LLC.
Founded in Malibu, California, Aligne started as an innovative branding platform. It aligned small non-profits and businesses with major brands, corporations, and capital and expanded their impact.
WHERE WE ARE
We are now based in Louisville, Kentucky. In response to the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, Aligne Consulting was called upon to evolve. Rather than sitting in anger and frustration, Birungi utilized both feelings with her experience and established relationships to support change. Harnessing her personal growth on the micro to mirror impactful growth on the macro, Aligne Consulting LLC supports executive leaders on a journey aligning impact with intention.
