Focus Areas

Polina Changuleva is the Founder of Same But Different, the world’s first joyful inclusion consultancy. Her mission is to redefine how inclusion is experienced across society and the corporate world—making it a transformational practice rather than a checkbox exercise. Through bold strategy, impactful training, and culture-shifting work, she helps organisations build environments where everyone can thrive by embracing difference and celebrating similarities.

Changuleva is a multi-award-winning DEI disruptor, named a Future of Work Pioneer and one of Management Today’s 35 Under 35. With over a decade of experience in media and tech, she now serves as a UK Parliament Diversity Advisor and UN Women UK delegate. Her work centres on empowering underrepresented communities by driving systemic change and building inclusive cultures that last.

“As a visionary leader, I challenge the status quo to spark systemic change that is bold, joyful, and truly inclusive.”
