Our Story

The path to greatness often begins with humble origins

 

Kaizen Consultancy's journey began with a humble Facebook page named "Efficiency in Business and Management," created by founder and director, Aras Omer, during his business management studies in the USA. Through this platform, Aras shared Kurdish-language articles on business principles, aiming to normalize these concepts within the Kurdish and broader Middle Eastern business culture. The founder’s deep understanding of local business culture, coupled with his insights into regional dynamics, set the page—and eventually, Kaizen Consultancy—apart from others in the industry.

 

As the page gained traction, the founder received numerous requests for advice from aspiring entrepreneurs, businesses, and individuals. Recognizing the demand, he founded Kaizen Consultancy, assembling a team of experts in various fields of business management and marketing. Our consultants offer tailored services across industries, guided by our commitment to excellence and client success.
