TORONTO — Meeranda, a privately held Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions provider, serving both small and medium businesses (SMBs) and global multinational corporations (MNCs), announced that Caroline Codsi, ICD.D., Founder and Chief Equity Officer of Women in Governance (WiG), has joined Meeranda as the inaugural member of its Advisory Board.

In 2010 Codsi created WiG, Canada’s organization with a mission to help women thrive in the corporate world.

In 2017 WiG developed the first North American Parity Certification™ to close the gender gap in the workplace distributed in Canada and the U.S. Close to a million employees work for a Parity Certified organization including many pinnacles of the Canadian economy as well as some of the world’s largest multinationals.

In 2020, WiG signed a partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA to power their Fair Play, Equal Pay initiative aimed to encourage American organizations on the path to parity.

In 2021, Codsi co-founded Synclusiv, a DEI consulting firm transforming organizations committed to providing a more equitable workplace for all underrepresented groups.

Codsi has decades of extensive experience serving on the boards of over 20 organizations across the non-profit and private sectors. Apart from the boards of her own companies, she currently sits on the boards of the Quebec Labour Council, Alexa Translations, and Arecor Renewable Energy.

“I am thrilled and honored that Ms. Codsi has accepted to join Meeranda’s mission to disrupt the worldwide customer experience, through our cutting-edge AI technology and research advancements,” said Raji Wahidy, Co-Founder and CEO of Meeranda. “As a pioneer in her field, Ms. Codsi has played pivotal roles in driving transformational initiatives across various organizations. Her entrepreneurial spirit, diverse background, and extensive network, coupled with her forward-thinking approach, make her an invaluable addition to Meeranda’s Advisory Board.”

Meeranda will commence its Seed Funding round by the end of August 2023.
