Bellamo Consulting was born from a simple frustration: too many businesses in Kenya — brilliant, ambitious businesses — were being let down by consultants who delivered reports instead of results.
We're a team of operators, not just advisors. We've sat in the seats you sit in. We've managed budgets, led teams, navigated regulators, and stayed up late figuring out cash flow. That experience is what we bring to every engagement — practical, tested, and honest.
We work primarily with startups and SMEs because we believe you're the backbone of this economy. When you grow, communities grow.
Work With UsWe don't send junior analysts. You work directly with senior practitioners who have led teams, managed P&Ls, and navigated East Africa's regulatory landscape firsthand.
Over 10 years leading strategy and operations engagements across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. Former Head of Operations at a leading East African fintech. Passionate about building businesses that last.

Bellamo helped us go from firefighting every week to actually executing our growth plan. Within 6 months, we had structure, a clear strategy, and a team that knew what to do.
I was skeptical about consultants, but their approach was hands-on and practical. They stayed until the work was done, not just until the report was delivered.
The compliance audit alone saved us from a significant penalty we didn't even know was coming. Their team knows the Kenyan regulatory landscape inside out.
We were trying to expand into Uganda with no real playbook. Bellamo built one for us in 6 weeks — market entry strategy, partner mapping, everything. We launched on time and on budget.
Our operations were a mess — three teams doing the same thing with no visibility. After the process redesign, we cut fulfilment time by 40% in the first month alone.
What sets Bellamo apart is that they actually care about outcomes, not deliverables. They pushed back when our ideas weren't solid. That honest counsel is rare and invaluable.
Practical guides, checklists, and perspectives on running a better business in East Africa.
