About Us
Who We Are
Maison Barlovento is a sanctuary for transformation, founded in 2025 by Razia Baqai, a former U.S. Diplomat with over 20 years of international experience. The name 'Maison' translates to 'home' in French, symbolizing a grounding space for reflection and growth. 'Barlovento,' a Spanish maritime term, signifies the windward direction—where sailors venture towards challenge and growth. Our mission is to provide coaching and advisory services to high-performing individuals and mission-driven organizations seeking clarity, legacy, and alignment. With a rich background working alongside leaders across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, we believe that true success is not defined by titles but by the legacies we leave behind. At Maison Barlovento, we invite you to follow your heart, build your legacy, and live with clarity.
