Bridging Gaps. Building Futures.

Who We Are

Tawiran is a management consulting and advisory firm that helps organizations move from ideas to outcomes. We specialize in strategy, program management, organizational transformation, and responsible technology integration — delivering practical, forward-looking solutions that build institutional strength and drive measurable impact.

From integrating AI and emerging technologies into government operations to supporting civic participation and accountability reforms, we work across sectors to create institutions that are more responsive, transparent, and effective. For private sector clients, we offer guidance to navigate regulatory environments, build cross-sector partnerships, and embed responsible innovation into business growth.

At Tawiran, we see ourselves as more than advisors. We are partners in crossing from complexity to clarity — from policy to practice — from vision to lasting change.

Our History

In Tagalog, Tawiran means “a crossing” — a place or act of moving from one side to another. For us, the name reflects our mission: helping clients navigate complexity, bridge divides, and move from challenges to solutions.

Just as a tawiran provides a safe and purposeful passage, our firm serves as a trusted partner guiding organizations through transitions, whether that means implementing new policies, strengthening institutions, or building systems that create sustainable change.

Based in Washington, D.C.’s historic Anacostia neighborhood and proudly female and minority-owned, Tawiran embodies both connection and progress. We help clients not only cross into new possibilities but thrive once they arrive.

Our team has led and implemented projects for a wide range of clients, including the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the City of New York, Global Affairs Canada, U.S. Census Bureau, and numerous private sector partners and nonprofit foundations.

We have designed and managed initiatives in North America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, supporting projects valued at more than $170 million. From overhauling public services in northern Iraq to advancing green infrastructure in Washington, D.C., our team has excelled in environments where success requires both technical rigor and adaptive leadership.

Tawiran is more than an advisory firm. We are a bridge between strategy and action, policy and practice, vision and measurable change.
