Adil joined the CSI team over three years ago as their Director of Culture – one of the first roles of its kind globally. In addition to stewarding CSI’s culture, Adil has led several major projects at CSI including the $4.3-million Community Bond Campaign to purchase 192 Spadina, and the development of CSI’s new online space, socialinnovation.org. He is a master of experience design, a brilliant communicator, and an exciting young leader with a profound desire for inclusive and accessible communities.
Adil was recently named a BALLE Fellow, becoming the first Muslim to ever receive the honour. In addition to his role at CSI, he Chairs the Board for the award-winning social enterprise the StopGap Foundation, and also co-founded Camp Reset, the acclaimed summer camp for adults that exists at the intersection of play and wellness. Previous to CSI, Adil worked as a community volunteer for the Obama campaign, helped introduce micro lending technology to rural Tanzanian farmers, and became a pioneer in the mobile video space when he launched My City Lives, a local video platform that had a presence in 250 cities worldwide.
