KAIROS Advisory helps international companies and investors enter, scale, and transform commercial operations across West & Central Africa — with deep specialization in UEMOA markets.
We take on a small number of engagements each year — always with direct senior attention, never delegated to junior teams.
We become your senior commercial leader on the ground for 3 to 12 months — building partnerships, navigating regulators, recruiting your first local team.
A 6 to 10 week diagnostic delivering a complete UEMOA go-to-market plan: regulatory roadmap, distribution architecture, partnership targets, hiring blueprint.
Quarterly strategic input for Africa-focused boards, with operational depth on Francophone West Africa specifically.
KAIROS is led by Donald Konan, a senior operator with 22 years of executive experience across the three sectors that shape West Africa's real economy: telecom, logistics and retail networks, and FMCG / agro-industry.
We don't bring frameworks. We bring the rooms we've been in, the deals we've negotiated, and the scars from decisions that didn't work the first time.
