Ranya Alkadamani
Founder at Impact Group International

Ranya was previously (2020-2025) a Non-Executive Director on the Board of Vulcan Energy Resources (ASX:VUL), Zero Carbon Lithium, which aims to decarbonise lithium production by using deep geothermal energy to extract lithium while also producing renewable geothermal energy on a mass scale. This dual-purpose company will secure Europe’s supply of lithium for the EV transition and support Germany’s energy needs.

Ranya is also a Non-Executive Director on the Board of Australian Associated Press, Australia’s only independent newswire. Ranya’s most challenging role came in 2021 when she became a mother. She had to learn how to accept a new identity, surrender any sense of control and accept that goals and achievements were no longer a way of measuring success but that deep compassion and patience were.
