Anita Ansari

Founder, AKONSULTING LLC - United States

Anita Ansari is a Partner and People Strategy Advisor at Tan Jimenez Consulting and the founder of AKONSULTING LLC, a US-based human resources consultancy headquartered in Tampa, Florida. She brings more than 12 years of international experience across strategic recruitment, talent acquisition, learning and development, organisational capability, HR business partnering and client relationship management. As an SHRM-SCP-certified practitioner, Anita combines established HR expertise with a practical understanding of the workforce challenges facing growing and internationally expanding businesses.

Her professional background includes experience with USAID–Chemonics, Aga Khan University Hospital, Khaadi and Sperton Consulting. Across these organisations, she has supported learning and development programmes, organisational change initiatives, talent strategy and people capability development. Her work has also involved multicultural teams and HR business partnering with clients across Europe and Asia, strengthening her ability to understand workforce requirements across different markets, cultures and organisational environments.

During her five years with Sperton, Anita worked across people and capability development, international recruitment, account management and client advisory. She supported colleagues, clients and candidates across multiple markets and developed a strong reputation for mentoring, relationship-building and people-centred leadership. Public feedback from former colleagues highlights the support, guidance and professional development she provided to team members throughout her tenure.

Through AKONSULTING LLC, Anita supports North American businesses with two closely connected challenges: attracting high-quality talent and building the organisational frameworks needed to retain and develop that talent. The consultancy specialises in the technology, engineering and e-commerce sectors, with services covering full-cycle and technical recruitment, passive sourcing, executive search, recruitment-process optimisation, ATS implementation, workforce planning, learning and development frameworks, DEI-aligned talent strategy and employer branding.

At Tan Jimenez Consulting, Anita strengthens the firm’s talent and organisation advisory capability, particularly for companies entering the US market, scaling technical teams or building more structured people operations. Her contribution helps clients connect recruitment with wider business priorities—including organisational capability, employee development, inclusive workforce practices and long-term commercial growth.

“I believe sustainable growth starts with understanding both the business and the people behind it. My role is to help organisations translate their ambitions into practical talent strategies, stronger workforce capability and people practices that support performance, inclusion and long-term value.”
