Tack & Tact Consulting LLC is a mission-driven consulting firm built to strengthen U.S. and Africa business partnerships while helping companies navigate international expansion with clarity, compliance, and confidence.
Founded by Kelvin Kabunga, a leader with more than 20 years of distinguished experience in law, litigation, and international development, Tack & Tact was created from a deep commitment to bridging cultural and commercial divides. The goal is to unlock sustainable growth and opportunity for businesses while supporting stability in regions that have long faced conflict and poverty.
At its core, Tack & Tact believes trade is not only an economic driver, but also a tool for peace. By connecting markets, the firm helps create mutual benefits while uplifting communities and encouraging U.S. investment in war-torn areas that are rich in potential, yet burdened by extreme poverty.
The name reflects the company’s approach. “Tack” represents uniting diverse business interests, while “tact” reflects crafting tailored strategies to turn those interests into actionable opportunities. With a strong focus on compliance, proactive risk management, and measurable outcomes, Tack & Tact helps clients thrive in today’s interconnected global economy.
