Its leadership brings over 100 years of experience establishing, building, and running advisory organizations across the world, including serving clients across more than 50 countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The firm says that it will serve and collaborate with African and Middle Eastern leaders, institutions, and global allies to address socioeconomic, climate change, and technological innovation.

“We firmly believe that the best way for our work to have a positive impact is to put African and Arab people, leaders, and institutions at the centre of project design, decision making, and delivery,” Edwin Macharia, Managing Partner at Axum, said.

“Axum will not seek to impose ‘one-size-fits all’ practices onto African and Middle Eastern projects. Our role is to help organizations and leaders envision a bold future, build movements, and bring visions to life,” Macharia added.

Axum originates from the ancient African and Middle Eastern civilizations.

It represents a history that revolutionized trade and commerce, drove African-led innovation, created new currencies, and advanced cultural production.

“We are confident that our collective next steps will see us deliver more for the communities and stakeholders we work alongside, while simultaneously providing a better platform for everyone at Axum to develop professionally and do the best possible work,” Macharia stated.

“We also know that there will be opportunities for Axum and Dalberg to work together in the future.”
