About Kristell Caballero Saucedo, Founder & Principal, Living Change

My work is rooted in the principle of inherent power, guiding individuals and organizations in harnessing their personal agency to initiate positive change within themselves and their communities. As the Founder and Principal Consultant at Living Change Consulting, I create a secure and empowering environment for navigating the challenges and uncertainties of transformation through personalized coaching and consulting services. With extensive experience in racial justice, equity and belonging, grantmaking, research, policy analysis, program evaluation, and leadership development, I am committed to supporting others in tapping into their inherent power and personal agency.
My work spans across various sectors, but my core focus remains consistent: supporting and facilitating meaningful change. I am an accomplished grantmaking strategist and justice-oriented leader, specializing in developing and implementing impactful social change strategies. My domestic and global initiatives have helped advance racial justice and equitable leadership across diverse sectors. I have extensive experience building and managing funder collaboratives, driving strategic philanthropy, and fostering cross-sector partnerships that meet the needs of underserved communities.
My approach is rooted in deep stakeholder engagement, creating learning communities, and developing evaluation tools to measure the impact of leadership programs. I have extensive experience crafting innovative strategies that build networks among transnational leaders, support social justice movements, and drive systemic change. My expertise in guiding organizations through change management processes ensures that equity remains at the forefront of their missions.
I hold a Master of Policy Management from Georgetown University, a Change Management certification from Cornell University, and a B.A. in Political Science and Spanish from St. Olaf College.
