We help you find experienced, talented leaders within your industry.
Kabilar was started by our Founder, Wesley Bell, who is African and is passionate about her success. A passion that was ignited when doing his Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA) and through immersion became disheartened by seeing African progress. Africa is a beautiful continent, with incredible people, an abundance of creativity, profound tenacity, bravery and natural wealth yet the vision of Africa the Lion has never crystalized. We continue to have high unemployment, significant inequality, poverty and not valued as equals by our global peers.
Something needed to change, and rather than sit on the sidelines, he chose to found Kabilar and contribute to positive societal impact.
Wesley has 20 years of corporate finance experience with his last corporate role being the Regional Finance Director – Middle East and Africa at a multi-national. He has a proven ability to extract value for shareholders, while also having worked on several merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions. Kabilar has been founded on depth of experience in integrating teams, systems, processes, and practices and he is skilled at building strong partnerships, leading high-performing teams, creating trust, and driving strategic goals across both vertical and horizontal engagement.
“Climbing the ladder through an analytical route has enabled me to acutely understand how businesses operate and use my understanding, technical knowledge, global insights and experience towards value accretion”
I believe by founding Kabilar with my experience and supported by our partner network, we can make a significant contribution to society.
Kabilar is a Social Enterprise and that is reflected in the alignment between our goals with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We want to make a lasting impact by what we do.
Africa has considerable poverty with many citizens lacking food and nutrition. One of Kabilar’s key tenants is to accelerate business growth that leads to an increase in job creation, which in turn leads to decreasing poverty and increasing access to food.
Kabilar’s knowledge and experiences that are being leveraged in delivering our services is dispensing quality education to entrepreneurs and management teams. Through quality education we can make meaningful differences.
We believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly, equally and be recognised. Power by a few needs to be ended and we seek to empower women, girls and the disadvantaged through our diverse network, coaching and influence to curtail injustices and solve social crisis.
Support business development that results in inclusive sustainable economic growth advocating that the informal sectors can also have social protections.
We have vast disparities between African citizens, countries, the rich and the global south that was only made worse by COVID-19. Kabilar aims to support a more just global system by empowering businesses for a more equitable future.
