Who we are

Keith Campbell

Founder

After receiving an MA in Political Science from The American University, Keith started his career in risk management in Washington DC. He has an in-depth understanding of security matters and their relationship to economic dynamics and socio-political stability in developing countries.

An African specialist, he has over 20 years experience in advising large multinational corporations on the political, operational and security challenges they face in high-risk environments/countries. He continues to have a direct impact on the formulation of corporate market-entry strategies, the provision of detailed risk assessments and implementation of risk- mitigation measures.

Keith oversees a regular stream of non-technical due diligence enquiries and assessments in Africa, and provides negotiations advice to selected international clients engaging with local partners. He spent 20 years leading one of Africa’s most well-known risk advisory companies, 15 of those as Managing Director. He also helped to establish the South Africa-Angola Chamber of Commerce, subsequently serving as its Vice-President for seven years.

undertaking detailed and rigourous analyses and threat assessments on terrorist groups (including Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab), secessionist movements (MEND and Mombasa Revolutionary Council), and former civil war combatants (such as Renamo).

Glenn obtained an ESRC grant for a PhD in International Relations, graduating from Keele in 2011. He spent two years as a Sessional Lecturer for the University of Reading and he has worked as a Strategic Analyst for the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (UK).
