About PEC
We are a performance transformation partner—not a traditional HR consultancy. We exist to ensure that people are not just managed, but leveraged as a strategic advantage.
Our Story
A short narrative of how we came to do this work, and why we believe it matters more now than ever.
The People Edge Consulting was founded on a simple but powerful observation:
Most organizations don't fail because of strategy. They fail because their people systems aren't aligned to deliver it.
We recognized that traditional HR approaches were no longer sufficient. Organizations needed more than policies, recruitment, and training. They needed a system that connects people to performance.
At PEC, we redefined HR consulting by integrating four globally-validated capabilities into a single, coherent practice:
Today, PEC supports organizations across East and Central Africa to align culture to strategy, build effective leadership pipelines, make data-driven workforce decisions, and design systems that sustain performance over time.
At the heart of everything we do is one conviction: people are the most powerful driver of performance—when properly aligned, measured, and developed.

Where strategy meets people—
and performance follows.
Meet Our Founder
Over 25 years of helping organizations across Africa build high-performing cultures, future-ready leaders and sustainable workforce strategies.
For over two decades, Marc has helped organizations unlock one of their most powerful sources of competitive advantage: their people. As one of East Africa's leading Human Capital, Organizational Development and Workforce Transformation advisors, his focus has always been the alignment of strategy, culture, leadership, capability and performance to deliver sustainable business results.
Before founding PEC in 2016, Marc held senior HR leadership roles including Chief Human Resources Officer at Mumias Sugar Company, Head of Human Capital & Administration at Kenya Tourism Board, and Deputy Director, Human Resources & Administration at the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission — leading major transformations across restructuring, talent management, succession planning, engagement, reward and culture.
Under his leadership, PEC has grown into a trusted advisory partner to boards, CEOs and development partners across Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia, South Sudan, Seychelles, Lesotho, Sierra Leone and beyond — spanning government, financial services, hospitality, manufacturing, utilities, DFIs, NGOs, education and regional intergovernmental bodies.
Organizations do not transform because strategies change. Organizations transform because people change.
“Helping organizations across Africa unlock the full potential of their people.”
