Mehnaz and Saif are not just a couple — they are a force of nature. Together, they’re building a legacy of leadership, innovation, and service that is reshaping communities, reimagining technology, and redefining what’s possible. As co-founders of CongiCo AI and NL Eats Community Outreach Inc., they are the heartbeat of a movement powered by purpose, empathy, and action. Their journey began with a shared dream: to use their talents not just for personal success, but for the betterment of society. And with that dream, they launched not one — but two transformational ventures rooted in community and fueled by innovation. Saif, a data visionary with a Bachelor of Engineering and a PMP designation, is a rare blend of technical brilliance and human-centered leadership. His career spans the public sector, where he works as a Senior AI Consultant and Project Lead with the Government of Canada, helping institutions use data and systems thinking to deliver smarter services for Canadians. As a Certified Project Manager, Process Engineer, and Data Scientist, he doesn't just manage projects — he transforms them into catalysts for change. Outside of government, Saif is the Chief Innovation Officer at NL Eats Community Outreach Inc., a nonprofit revolutionizing food systems through agritech. He leads cutting-edge initiatives that leverage AI and data to fight food insecurity and climate challenges. Whether it’s sustainable food distribution models or smart agricultural tools, Saif ensures technology is not just efficient, but equitable. Recognized as one of Ontario’s top Community Change-makers, Saif’s story is a powerful reminder that when you lead with vision and heart, the impact is limitless. Mehnaz, on the other hand, brings the strategic firepower and human-centered lens that fuels every initiative they touch. With a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Certificate in Public Policy, she’s spent more than a decade delivering high-impact IT and business solutions as a Project Management Professional in the Government of Canada. Her skill set — from financial analysis and compliance to stakeholder engagement and process improvement — is unmatched. But what truly sets her apart is her passion for people development and servant leadership.

As the Co-Founder and Director of NL Eats, Mehnaz leads with compassion and courage. She’s been instrumental in designing and executing long-term, sustainable strategies that go beyond feeding people — they empower them. From educational programs about food systems to grassroots mobilization in underserved communities, Mehnaz is rewriting what community leadership looks like.

And she doesn’t stop there. As Vice President of Operations at PMI - OVOC, she mentors the next generation of changemakers, sharing her journey and lifting others as she climbs. She also runs a consultancy and coaching practice, where she helps professionals find clarity, purpose, and success in their own careers.

Her dedication to impact is unwavering. Her leadership is fearless. And her ability to bring people together around big ideas is what drives lasting change. Together, Mehnaz and Saif are co-founders of CongiCo AI, where their mission is to build ethical, accessible, and community-centered AI solutions. From helping nonprofits harness machine learning to designing tools that address real-world problems like food insecurity and social isolation, they are proving that AI can be human, hopeful, and just.

What makes them extraordinary is not just their individual brilliance — it’s the power of their partnership. Their love for each other is mirrored in their love for community. They dream together, build together, and lead together. Every project they touch carries a shared belief: technology should serve humanity, and success should be measured by the lives uplifted.

Their story is an anthem for every couple with a dream. A blueprint for leaders who believe in doing good while doing well. And a shining example that when passion meets purpose — and when two hearts and minds unite in service — the result is pure, unstoppable magic.
