Deloitte has officially reopened its office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after a six-year absence, marking a significant step in the firm’s renewed focus on the Ethiopian market. The move underscores Deloitte’s commitment to supporting Ethiopia’s development agenda and capitalizing on the opportunities the country offers.
Anne Muraya, CEO of Deloitte East Africa, expressed enthusiasm about the reopening, noting that the firm’s presence in Ethiopia is a reflection of its belief in the country’s potential. “In opening our new office, we are not only expanding our footprint but also embracing the spirit and potential that Ethiopia embodies,” Muraya said. “Our presence here represents our commitment to Ethiopia and signifies our belief in the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Muraya extended her gratitude to those who played a role in making the reopening possible. “To our clients, thank you for your trust and continued partnership. To our staff, your hard work and dedication have been the driving force behind our achievements. You worked tirelessly over the last two years to make this a reality. To the government and people of Ethiopia, we are grateful for your warm welcome and support,” she added.
The CEO also shared a personal connection to Ethiopia, reflecting on her first visit to Addis Ababa at the age of 13. “Addis holds a special place in my heart, and for me, this is also personal,” she said. “To say that I am excited about our new office is quite an understatement. This is a momentous occasion, and we are thrilled to be part of Ethiopia’s incredible growth journey.”
Deloitte’s reopened office aims to leverage the firm’s global expertise to support local businesses, government initiatives, and development projects across a range of sectors, contributing to Ethiopia’s continued growth and modernization.
It is good news for Ethiopians at home and abroad that Deloitte opening office in Addis Abeba starts business. I hope by doing that Deloitte do the right kind of businesses that benefit Ethiopians and the business world. The dispora Ethiopians can play a role ofcourse benefit as well if the right
Kind of business activities introduced. Is there anyway I can get information about the business activities by Deloitte in Ethiopia?
I would rather choose hell verse the worst trashed country. When the people are considered trashed by government there is nothing worse than that. All the bribery from the bottom to the top rank showed the country has no owner. We all trashed it.
I don’t understand a business group wants to invest in Ethiopia at this time. The country Is in the middle of war killing its own citizens. For that matter it is not only a war it is a Genocide against Amharas
Whoever wants to invest now knowing what is going on in ethiopa in the hands of
Abye Ahmed Ali &Mohammed Bin Zayed of
United Arab Emirates against the Amharas is going to be part of the Genocide.
The openming of Deloitte in Ethiopis is greatly appreciated. This could have been more exiting if the country is at peace. But, at this condition when people are languishing wirh tribal political turmoil and tearing blood, it is worthless to try to shine with your fashin on their grave.
Welcome. I hope, as a big 4 professional advisory and consultancy service providers, it is a plus to the country’s professional development and job opportunities.
What’s the use of this if consulting firms as such and similar to them have no scientific methods to assist organizations worldwide to improve their systems. Unfortunately, companies are trapped with the brand image of Deloitte. It is true that this firm is big and global in size, but nothing to offer in terms of value proposition. They follow old, pickled methods like Swot analysis, Balanced Scorecard and none-sense other business models that won’t work anymore in this 4th industrial revolution. They only have fancy marketing and brand influence and companies run and pay them millions of dollars for something not scientific. There success is only limited on celebrating their ability to create organized filing systems and documents. It’s like a team of workers entering an old, ruined house, changing its furniture, the exterior and interior design of this house but ignoring and not being capable of fixing the real issues of foundations of this same house. Deloitte does the same approach. It’s role is limited to make-up things not fixing real and potential problems in organizations. There is no holistic understanding of organizations – Orgtologist
