Our Meaning and Purpose

‘Aropa’ originates from the people of Anuta in the Solomon Islands and signifies their social concept of affection and empathy through sharing and cooperation. By weaving this meaningful practice into the fabric of our work, we at Aropa Consulting provide a higher level of care to management consulting. Our standards go beyond just operational effectiveness and improvement, but create an entire supportive platform that honors the humanity of your work.

Our CEO and Founder

Rosalind 'Roz' Zavras is a highly experienced non-profit operations expert, with over 15 years of dedicated work building operational infrastructure for social impact organizations around the world. Her unique talent lies in identifying systemic challenges and designing innovative tools to overcome them, whether she's revamping cash-based accounting systems in East Africa or developing a grant and donor tracking system for a community foundation. She sought to bring operational excellence and humanity to the world of management consulting.


Roz founded Aropa Consulting with the belief that the success of any organization depends on its people. Aropa’s mission is to create a new standard for management consulting - one that puts people first. We believe that a human-centered approach to consulting is the key to unlocking the full potential of organizations and helping them achieve their goals while also supporting their communities.

At Aropa Consulting, we build strong personal connections with our clients and prioritize their unique needs and perspectives in order to provide tailored support and guidance that empowers them to make a meaningful impact and grow thoughtfully. As a minority, women, and LGBTQ+ owned company, Aropa Consulting is committed to weaving equity, diversity, and inclusion into the nonprofit sector and beyond, and we believe that by putting people at the heart of our work, we can help create a better world for all.
