What is the purpose of Amalgam?
Amalgam’s deep belief is that great leadership is the catalyzing factor that drives families, organizations, communities, and Nations to greatness and thus the Amalgam Leadership Programme is designed to shape a generation of leaders who have a holistic understanding of the components needed to deliver inspirational, effective, and people centered leadership.
Our long-term goal is to elevate African leadership skills that will uplift the continent and all it’s people to greater prosperity, balance, and humanness (“Utu” in Kiswahili) embodying the unique values we hold dearest as Africans.
Who is behind Amalgam?
Our evolution
Amalgam’s Founding Partners are not academics or trainers, but instead four successful business leaders: Ndirangu Maina, Lenny Ng’ang’a, Chris Harrison, and Dr. Yolande Coombes. Each began their careers in multinational corporations in Africa. Then left to start businesses, which created their own success across the African continent.
Reflecting on their own careers, the Partners realised that they had each faced the challenges of leading their businesses alone - without the wider skill set or support network needed for sustained success.
So, together, they designed the Amalgam Leadership Programme to address that deficiency. To make sure that the next generation of emerging business leaders in Africa would be better prepared and supported.
