Organizer
Kapit Group is a finance and organizational strategy consulting firm, established in 2021 by Senegalese professionals with backgrounds in banking, strategic management, and law. Leveraging a network of key partners, Kapit Group has successfully entered the consultancy and diversified services market, positioning itself as a challenger among numerous competitors.
Kapit Group’s target clientele comprises two main segments:
- Senegalese companies: With the Senegalese economy experiencing growth, particularly fueled by the emergence of new sectors like oil and gas, local businesses face the challenge of remaining competitive in a bustling market. Adapting to national and international organizational standards is crucial for their sustained competitiveness. These companies can benefit from expert assistance in accessing financial support through clear and precise economic and financial structures (business plans, organizational strategies, marketing, legal).
- Companies in the process of establishing a presence in Senegal: The current economic landscape and Senegal’s new positioning in international markets are attracting foreign investors. However, these investors must navigate local and sub-regional regulations and market realities to ensure successful establishment.
Kapit Group’s team is led by a president who is an expert in strategic management, boasting over twenty years of experience across public-private partnerships, finance, construction, agro-industry, and commerce sectors. Supported by a banking and finance expert (25 years of experience) and a seasoned legal and tax expert (over 25 years of experience), the middle management and operational team includes financial analysts, HR managers, marketing specialists, and sales professionals. This organizational composition blends proven expertise with technology-driven skills, all working towards a common goal. Networking forms the cornerstone of Kapit Group’s development strategy, echoing Henry Ford’s sentiment: “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”
