JAHNA CEDAR

Consultant
Providing cultural and knowledge training for the HORIZON Program

A governance and leadership advisor, keynote speaker, and founder of Jahna Cedar Consulting: a strategic consultancy firm working across government, mining, health, education, and community sectors. With over two decades of experience, Jahna partners with boards, executives and leadership teams to enhance performance, align culture and strategy, and lead with integrity. Jahna leads and facilitates the HORIZON First Nations Uplifting Regional Women Program.

Jahna’s work spans corporate governance, strategic planning, executive coaching, stakeholder engagement, and cultural capability development. I’ve advised boards nationally and internationally, supported major project delivery across public and private sectors, and delivered leadership training for diverse and complex organisations.

While Jahna’s heritage as a Nyiyaparli/Yindjibarndi woman grounds her values, her practice supports both mainstream and First Nations clients. Jahna brings cultural insight without limitation, bridging cultural and corporate systems to create strong, high-performing organisations.

Jahna has spoken at Tedx, the United Nations, SXSW, Indigenous Women in Industry Rotorua and Gathering of Nations (Albuquerque), and brings a systems lens to complex challenges. Jahna believes strong governance and cultural intelligence are not add-ons, but the foundation for sustainable, inclusive growth.
