"The Promise of Tomorrow Comes From the Results We Achieve Today."

— Greyson Kiondo, KI President & CEO

A classically self-made businessman, Kiondo founded KI in 1997 and has since turned it into an international consulting firm with a portfolio of completed and on-going projects worth millions of dollars. He named our firm for his birth region in Tanzania. His intentions were always to combine access to international practitioners with a healthy dose of local management and staff. While the company has expanded throughout Africa and is reaching out to other nations around the world, its values have always remained the same.

Before starting the company, Kiondo took a look at the range of business opportunities in emerging, developing and transitioning countries in Africa and beyond. He realized that the public and private sector environments in these countries (and particularly in Tanzania) were rapidly changing to meet the challenges of global competition. Democratic reform and political pluralism, public service reform, liberalization and privatization of state-owned businesses—these were alll changes aimed at ensuring economic, social and political survival in a globalized setting.

Kiondo saw that a partnership between countries with developed economies and client-organizations in emerging, developing and transitioning nations offered the best chance for economic stability, good governance and, ultimately, better lives for locals. He concluded that there was an urgent need to establish a company to provide clients with access to global, broad-based professional assistance while also developing local human resources and management.
