"The future is created by the decisions we make today".

Luris Mulla is a British -South Sudanese legal professional, strategic consultant, and executive with extensive experience across governance, public policy, and international development. Her leadership trajectory began at the University of Leicester, where she served as President of the African and Caribbean Society while pursuing her Law degree.

Luris initially built her legal career in Juba, serving as the youngest judge appointed by presidential decree during a pivotal transition period following the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. Expanding her scope beyond judicial practice into strategic communications and advocacy, she utilized documentary film making – producing titles such as The Divine Mind and Transformative Autonomy- to analyze regional political developments and drive national sociopolitical discourse.

Recognized for her leadership capacity, Luris was selected as a Young African Leader by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) foundation, engaging with regional stakeholders on policy initiatives impacting youth. Following the outbreak of civil conflict, she transitioned into conflict resolution, serving as a civil society delegate representing South Sudanese youth interests during the IGAD- led South Sudan Peace Talks in Addis Ababa.

Her public sector impact and diplomatic engagement earned her a selection for the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellowship under President Barrack Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), establishing a robust continental network of high-level decision-makers. Today, Luris leverages her cross-sector experience to advise organisations as a consultant specializing in business development, institutional growth, and women’s empowerment initiatives
