Every bold future has an ordinary beginning. Ours began 20 years ago around a single table, with one laptop and two founders who chose to begin with what they had.
Elizabeth, arriving from the UK, and Nambi, from the US, started with a belief that consultancy should earn its keep: not only by producing documents, but by helping decisions translate into real progress. That first table still sits at our reception, a permanent reminder that the best strategies start with listening and the discipline to follow through.
Five years later, Badru joined full-time. With a third partner at the table, our foundation strengthened: more balance, more challenge, more momentum.
Today, we mark two decades, and we are choosing a goal worthy of the next twenty years: to help create 1 million meaningful jobs in each African country. "Meaningful" matters. It must mean work that sustains people, not just statistics.
This ambition is not a slogan. It is a direction of travel. It demands partners who think long-term, execute consistently, and care about outcomes, not optics.
If you are an organisation that wants growth to translate into livelihoods, we invite you to build with us. Bring your toughest questions. We will bring 20 years of learning, and a table that reminds us to keep it real. Together, we can turn intent into jobs, at scale and with meaning.
