Mia is passionate about addressing our contemporary economic, social and environmental issues collectively and via experimentation and action learning. Mia co-founded Reos Partners in the UK in 2007. The vision for Reos in the UK came from co-writing the document “The Birth of the Bhavishya Alliance: Learning and Insights from the Bhavishya Change Lab”. She is currently writing a paper on healthy change labs.

Since founding Reos she has been working with the change lab as a method to address complex issues. This has included work on peace and conflict resolution in Cyprus, sustainable mobility with WWF in 5 European cities, sustainable education in England and supporting efforts to convene a global change lab on sustainable finance. She has been conducting trainings in change lab methodologies and supporting multi-stakeholder partnerships seeking to make systemic changes.

In the lead up to the Copenhagen negotiations in December 09, Mia co-facilitated several events focusing on strategy and community building with Climate Action Network and WWF international in India and Copenhagen. Mia was also involved in facilitating the creation of CEDAR, a network of European Muslim professionals. She is currently working on a project called the Metropolitan Agriculture Innoversity relating to action learning and systemic innovation in 6 global cities in partnership with the Dutch quango TransForum.
Mia has a BSc in Human Sciences. Her thesis focused on different disciplinary approaches to human’s relationships to nature, with an emphasis on psychology, ecology and Sociobiology.

Mia also has an MA in medical anthropology. Her thesis involved fieldwork into healing and transformation processes through arts, media and performance in a South African township. Her thesis is called: “Seeing the global in the body: an experimental inquiry into township dance.”


Before studying for a degree in Human Sciences, she worked as a community development worker in North East Thailand. After her degree, Mia worked as a consultant at Shared Intelligence, an economic and social regeneration consultancy company. With SI, she facilitated multi-stakeholder action-learning groups.
