Who are we?
Learn more about us
Actiss Africa is an African Interim Management firm specializing in supporting African companies as they navigate transformation, recovery, and growth challenges. Founded in 2017 as a spin-off of Actiss Partners (established in Paris in 2004), Actiss Africa operates across the entire African continent, leading high-impact operational missions with its dedicated teams.
To address your challenges in Africa, Actiss Africa takes charge of your situation and delivers concrete, actionable solutions
We create a tandem composed of a Partner and an Interim Manager. The latter is assigned to your company for a few months, taking the lead of the relevant function — for example, a Sales Director if your challenges are commercial, a CFO if they are financial or accounting, or a Supply Chain Director if they are logistical. Together with you, this tandem operates in project mode to define the target you want or need to reach, establish and validate the roadmap to achieve it, and then the Interim Manager executes that roadmap with the support of the Actiss Africa Partner and under your supervision.
