Almas Phangura

Almas is a people, culture, and systems leader with over nine years of experience across organizational strategy, governance, and workforce transformation in the Americas and EMEA. She currently works in a senior HR leadership role, partnering with C-suite executives on organizational design, long-term planning, workforce strategy, labour relations, and building systems that support accountability and sustainable growth.

Her work sits at the intersection of structure, inclusion, and people, helping organizations make data-informed decisions that are both practical and fair. She has supported organizations through talent development strategy, performance management and large-scale change, including contract negotiations and enterprise system implementation.

She is drawn to CityHive because it reflects something she cares deeply about, that young people should not just be consulted in civic systems, but trusted as participants in shaping them. She is excited by the opportunity to support a board that is actively rethinking how cities, youth participation, and power can be shared.
