In just two years, Nilema built one of the most diverse teams in Kantar, expanding the global team and increasing ethnic, female and LGBTQ+ representation including 13 women, 9 of colour in her London team alone. Working with Multiverse, Obelisk, Accutrainee and Flex Legal, Nilema is breaking down barriers of privilege in the legal industry by working with women founded businesses whilst providing opportunities to trainees and paralegals from varied socio-economic backgrounds to enter the profession. Kantar joined the Interlaw Diversity forum to ensure transparency in DEI reporting among law firms. Beyond her professional role, Nilema founded the Courageous Leaders Event, donating ticket fees to support marginalised girls in Zimbabwe to access education. She also serves as a Board Adviser for Empathy Week, a startup that teaches empathy in school children to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Through mentorship and advocacy, Nilema works to impact others’ lives positively.
