Strategic Partnership Announcement Maluti Communications and Janine Hills Authentic Leadership have announced a formal strategic partnership to expand their corporate reputation and leadership advisory services across Sub-Saharan Africa, Mauritius, and the Indian Ocean region, including both English and French-speaking markets. Janine Hills Authentic Leadership, based in South Africa, is a consultancy specializing in corporate reputation management and strategic leadership advisory. The company supports executive leadership and corporate boards in building authentic reputations, with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and integrity. Founded by Marina Ythier Jacobsz and headquartered in Mauritius, Maluti Communications has been a key player in strategic corporate reputation management for over two decades. Known for its culturally sensitive insights and innovative solutions, the company is a trusted advisor in navigating cross-border communication and crisis management. Both firms emphasise that this partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to the continent. With deep roots in Africa, they aim to strengthen leadership and reputational excellence across the region. They acknowledge that effective communication strategies must be culturally intelligent and context-specific—especially in diverse markets. By combining their extensive experience across telecoms, financial services, mining, and tourism, they are positioned to offer tailored, sector-relevant solutions. At the heart of this partnership is a clear objective: to add value to clients while advancing Africa’s leadership and visibility on the global stage. @janinehills is no stranger to us.
