Fatima Asad-Bakhtiari is a visionary leader, consciousness consultant, and bridge-builder between worlds — finance and spirituality, tradition and innovation, logic and love.

With over 25 years of leadership experience in asset management and private equity, Fatima has held senior roles at institutions such as Edmond de Rothschild and Wells Fargo Asset Management, leading regional strategies across the Middle East and beyond. Her expertise spans investment advisory, capital raising, strategic partnerships, and business development — all grounded in a deep commitment to integrity, impact, and human connection.

Alongside her corporate journey, Fatima has become a powerful voice in the global consciousness and wellness movement. She is the founder of Niyana, a platform offering transformational advisory services to governments, corporates, and individuals, supporting the evolution of leadership, culture, and inner alignment. She is also the visionary and advisor behind Kayan Festival, and the creator of Hob Festival (2015) — the first wellness festival of its kind in the region. Over the years, she has organized more than 20 retreats and curated over 100 workshops, creating spaces for healing, growth, and transformation. Fatima also serves as an ambassador of Summit LA, where she curates healing spaces and sacred experiences that uplift communities and awaken hearts.

Her work is rooted in ancient wisdom, modern systems thinking, and a deep love for humanity. Whether guiding leaders through moments of crisis, designing retreats for inner transformation, or advising governments on well-being policy, she brings presence, clarity, and grace to every space she enters. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help people and institutions return to wholeness, and to create a world led by love, not fear
