“South Africa has learned the cost of reputational strain,” said Deanne Chatterton, CEO South Africa and Africa. “From governance scandals to community conflict in mining, billions in value have been lost when companies misread how legitimacy is earned and sustained. What we do is help leaders keep value intact by managing trust as seriously as they manage capital.”
With South Africa still Africa’s largest source of outward FDI, Frontière Advisory’s Johannesburg base positions it to help companies navigate regional expansion while sustaining trust at home.
Kim Polley, CEO UK and Africa, added: “Johannesburg is the hub for Africa’s capital and commerce. From here we can support South African firms expanding northwards, as well as global firms entering SA, with strategies that reflect both investor expectations and local realities.”
The launch comes as global investors re-engage with select African opportunities. UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reports that foreign direct investment to Africa reached a record US$97 billion in 2024, up 75 percent year-on-year, though flows remain highly concentrated and highly sensitive to governance and community risk.
Frontière Advisory’s model blends senior counsel with a panel of Frontière Advisors in six African markets, ensuring strategies are informed by lived experience and executed locally. The company was founded on the ethos that business can be a force for stability in uncertain places – but only when it earns the right to be trusted.
