Karumba Consulting provides planning and execution services for our clients' change projects. We help customers plan and deliver strategic costs reductions, technology and operational transformations. Most of our projects are self-funding from business case creation to project close-out.
Karumba Consulting was incorporated in 2014 to service one of our long-standing clients. Our ethos is to provide our clients with independent consulting experience that has the client's interests at the centre of what we do and which makes them successful. We are not sales-driven. Our business is almost 100% referral-based and founded on a reputation for getting things done.
Our core consulting team is made of highly experienced consultants with 25+ years of experience in EMEA, US and APAC and who have held senior positions within a variety of industries (typically banking, government, travel and insurance) and been responsible for significant change programmes.
As a result of our experience and professional networks we are helping our clients achieve their business goals.
