Hive Global Strategy Consultancy · Abu Dhabi
An independent strategic advisory firm that works alongside organizations, investors, and principals at moments where complexity is high, stakes are material, and decisions carry lasting institutional, financial, and reputational consequence.
Our Philosophy
We exist for the decisions that shape trajectories, where judgment matters as much as analysis, and where clarity, alignment, and the credibility to execute become the decisive factors for success.
About Us
Hive Global Strategy Consultancy is an independent strategic advisory firm, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, operating across Africa and selected international markets.
We advise organizations, investors, and principals navigating moments of strategic inflection, operating in environments where uncertainty is structural, where multiple stakeholders with divergent interests must be reconciled, and where conventional advisory approaches often fall short.
Our independence ensures objectivity, discretion, and a long-term perspective. We are driven by mandates where decisions shape institutions, trajectories, and lasting value, not by volume, and never by anything less than the full attention of senior judgement.
Defining and recalibrating strategic direction, and structuring complex, high-consequence decisions with clarity.
Reconciling divergent interests and incentives across organizations, partners, and cross-border initiatives.
Designing credible pathways from strategy to execution, alignment before action, structure before scale.
Hive is led directly by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jacinto Nyusi, ensuring senior judgement on every engagement, supported by regional platforms across Africa and its headquarters in Abu Dhabi that originate opportunity at its African source and connect it to the world’s capital.
Our Approach
Context before action.
We seek to understand the full complexity of a situation, its stakeholders, its constraints, its real problem, before forming a view.
Alignment before execution.
Durable outcomes require that interests and incentives are reconciled first. Alignment is the foundation on which execution holds.
Structure before scale.
The right structure protects value as ambition grows. We build engagements to endure, not merely to begin.
The Model, Complementarity, Not Competition
International firms bring brand, methodology, and technical depth. What complex, cross-border mandates demand in addition is proximity, alignment, and follow-through. Together, the result is an outcome neither could deliver alone.

Leadership
Jacinto Nyusi is an African entrepreneur, investor and strategic advisor whose work bridges Africa, the Gulf, Europe and Asia. Over more than a decade he has built a multidimensional career spanning mining, logistics, ports, energy and tourism, combining commercial execution with deep institutional and cross-cultural fluency.
His perspective was shaped early by his years in Shanghai, where he studied architecture at Tongji University and witnessed first-hand the infrastructure-led transformation that has come to define modern China, an education in scale and development that informs how he approaches opportunity across emerging markets.
Over the years he has founded and built businesses in several countries across Africa, Europe and the Gulf. Today his focus is Hive Global Strategy Consultancy in Abu Dhabi: an advisory platform that originates opportunity at its African source and connects it to the international partners capable of realising it.

A Message from the Chairman & CEO
The future isn’t given.
It’s built.
History is not written by those who wait for it. It is written by those who decide. We have decided.
For centuries, Africa’s story was told by others and its wealth flowed in one direction. That era is over. The continent with the youngest population on earth, the minerals the new economy cannot live without and the land that will feed the next billion is where this century will be won or lost. The Gulf holds the patient capital to win it. When these two forces meet in trust, the result is not trade. It is a new balance of the world.
Hive stands at that meeting point. We are not brokers, and we do not chase deals. We build bridges strong enough to carry nations: between capital and opportunity, between institutions and investors, between a vision and the day it delivers. We accept few mandates, and we finish what we start.
Our ambition is not to compete. It is to be the institution the world calls first when it means to build in Africa, trusted equally in Abu Dhabi and Maputo, in Kigali and Lisbon, in Johannesburg and Shanghai. We will raise a generation of African strategists who sit at every table that matters. We will be measured in ports, mines, railways and power, and we will still stand, still independent, long after the names on this page have changed.
I was raised to believe that building institutions is the apprenticeship of building nations, and that a life of service knows no ceiling. Hive is where that apprenticeship becomes work.
Great institutions are not inherited. They are built. We are building one, and the wise will build it with us.
Dr. Jacinto Nyusi
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Market Intelligence
A continuously evolving view of the developments shaping Africa, the Gulf–Africa corridor and the sectors where our partners deploy capital. Curated from primary sources and our own market presence.
UAE investment in Africa is approaching USD 150 billion, with annual trade above USD 107 billion. Non-oil trade alone reached about USD 158 billion in 2025, up 41.6% on the year, as Gulf capital moves from trade into ports, energy, mining, agriculture and real estate across the continent.
What it means for partners Gulf capital is looking for structured, well-governed opportunities in Africa. Hive was built to originate and prepare exactly those mandates.
