Pre-Y2K Origins

Our story begins in the days before Y2K—when floppy disks were still a thing, and the internet was just making its debut across Africa. As veteran consultants, every Alchemmy Advisor brings deep experience, having launched their careers during this pivotal time. It’s this foundation—rooted in early digital transformation—that continues to shape the future-focused guidance we offer today.

A New Beginning: Alchemmy Africa Is Born

When Gartner closed its consulting business in Africa in 2019, a gap emerged in the market for trusted, research-driven advisory services. In response, Alchemmy Africa was established—built in association with Alchemmy UK—to provide clients with a high-quality alternative. With the backing of UK-based expertise and a deep understanding of the African enterprise landscape, Alchemmy Africa set out to deliver strategic IT consulting with global insight and local relevance.

This unique perspective allows us to deliver strategic, relevant solutions for businesses operating both within Africa and on the global stage.
