Our deep understanding of African markets enables us to identify and engage outstanding leaders - whether they are local executives, members of the African diaspora or expatriates. Today, 79% of our appointments are African nationals and 35% are women, reflecting our commitment to developing diverse leadership across the continent. Our results speak for themselves, with 96% of shortlists delivered within four weeks and 92% of appointed leaders remaining in post beyond their first year.
