Remy Reya
Fluent in tech.
Grounded in mission.
Built for social good.
You’ve got a mission, a vision, and a theory of change.
What you don’t have is time.
In fact, you’re caught on a hamster wheel of meetings, emails, and administrative work—in other words, you’re not doing what got you into nonprofit work in the first place.
AI and automation could help…but you don’t have time to figure that out, either.
I get it, because I’ve been there. But there’s another way.
Hi, I’m Remy.
I help social impact leaders deepen their impact with responsible, thoughtful, values-aligned AI integration and education.
“Remy was excellent in humanizing AI and making it clear how to build and contextualize our work with AI’s support. It calmed some of the hesitations I have around AI usage at work and motivated me to truly set aside time to learn how it can be helpful in my work.”
— Mina Urbina, Manager of Partnerships at GlobalGiving

Why work with me?
I understand nonprofits.
I’ve spent more than a decade working with and within nonprofits. I know that this sector is different: the incentives are different, the expectations are different, the demands are different. That means that thought leadership and AI integration look different here than they do for corporations and government agencies.
I believe in fixing existing problems first.
Burnout, turnover, and financial scarcity are huge problems in the social sector. If we just integrate AI to “10x our impact” or integrate thought leadership to “10x our reach” and call it a day, we risk exacerbating these problems. We have to begin by right-sizing workloads and prioritizing sustainability over impact/reach at any cost.
I know that culture comes first.
I’ve had extensive applied experience with change management, leading social impact teams through tech evolutions and staff restructurings without leaving anyone behind. I understand that often, the biggest barriers to change are less technical and more emotional. Building trust and buy-in prevents backsliding.
What people are saying
“Remy has such a natural way of breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable ideas, all while staying positive, energized, and deeply connected to his audience. His use of analogies like the dimmer switch (AI doesn't have to only be "on" or "off") made everything click in a way that really stuck. Remy's impact is inspiring, and honestly, we need more people like him leading the way.”
– Mike Burger, CEO and Co-Founder, HQforAI
“Remy’s session was one of the most energizing parts of our strategic retreat and set a strong foundation for SHC’s AI journey. He met our staff exactly where they were, from skeptics to early adopters, and brought everyone along with clarity, patience, and real-time demonstrations that made AI feel accessible and immediately useful. When he built a custom ChatGPT model in front of us, the room lit up with ideas for how AI could strengthen our work across program areas. Staff overwhelmingly rated the session as highly valuable, calling it ‘fascinating,’ ‘eye-opening,’ and even ‘the most impactful moment of the retreat.’ Team members left feeling more confident, more curious, and more open to integrating AI into their daily workflows. We’re grateful for Remy’s partnership and excited to continue building on this momentum.”
– Barbara Duffield, Executive Director, SchoolHouse Connection
