The story

Maasha Kah is the Founder & CEO of The Right Distraction — a strategy, leadership, and experience design company helping people and organizations build better environments for connection, performance, growth, and meaningful change.

With more than a decade across business strategy, human resources, diversity, equity and inclusion, social impact, philanthropy, leadership development, and organizational transformation, she has worked with and within leading organizations including Google, Uber, Eventbrite, Teach For America, DocuSign, Postmates, and Dropbox.

Her work sits at the intersection of people, performance, and possibility. She has led large-scale programs, advised leaders through complex organizational moments, built inclusive workplace strategies, and designed experiences that help individuals and teams communicate more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and move forward with greater purpose.

Before building The Right Distraction more fully, she held senior leadership roles — including leading DEI & Social Impact — shaping culture, supplier diversity, community engagement, and leadership initiatives through periods of rapid growth. She has designed and led everything from intimate leadership sessions to gatherings of up to 25,000 attendees.

Her work is rooted in a simple belief: better environments create better outcomes.

What we believe

Four things every room is built on

People first, always

A strategy, a stage, a gathering — none of it matters unless it helps a human thrive. People come before anything else.

Connection is a superpower

The strongest teams and communities run on belonging. Connection isn't soft — it's the whole advantage.

Wonder belongs at work

Play, curiosity, and a little awe aren't distractions from serious work. They're where the best of it comes from.

The right distraction moves you forward

Sometimes the thing that pulls you off the grind is exactly where you're meant to be. Follow it.
