A Role Anchored in Shared Leadership
Established in 2019, the role of Global Chairperson was created to introduce leadership beyond the Group CEO and to reflect the principles of the Economy of Communion (EoC)—a business model rooted in participation, unity, and solidarity. Elected annually by certified and active Consulites and Partners, the Chairperson plays a vital role in guiding governance, fostering collaboration across regions, and embodying the spirit of communion at the heart of Consulus.

In this role, Freddy Nicolas will work in unity with Lawrence Chong, Group CEO of Consulus, and the Consulus World Centre team. He will:

Provide strategic governance and leadership counsel
Serve as the global spokesperson for Consulus
Champion unity across regions and practice areas
Lead preparations for the 2026 Consulus Global School and Shape the World Summit

Announced During Consulus Global School 2025
The announcement took place during Consulus Global School 2025, a formation programme that brings together Consulites from around the world to renew their shared purpose, deepen their understanding of the Economy of Communion, and co-design strategies for the future.

Held in Rome from 9–11 June, the programme included practical workshops, dialogue circles, reflections and visits to significant sites such as the home of Chiara Lubich, founder of the Economy of Communion.

Rawi Ahmed, the Chairperson for 2024–2025 and Partner at Consulus, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support he received during his term:

“I am honoured to serve as Global Chairperson for Consulus Network for the 2024-2025 term, working closely with our Group CEO and core team. In a world facing crises, including economic instability, we understand that sustainable growth isn’t just about financial success; it’s also about channelling our efforts to relentlessly pursue unity, progress, and a shared future for all. I look forward to seeing this mission championed by the incoming chairperson.”
