By listening to our clients’ needs and sharing our experience, each one of our solutions is unique and built around the specifics of the country, sector and people within the client’s organization.

About

What’s in a name?

The Whispering Bell (Emmenanthe penduliflora) is the phoenix of the plant world. It germinates in recently burned areas and is therefore common in regions prone to wildfire. The plant produces yellow or pink flowers and fruit. It rises out of the barren, destroyed land.

Like our namesake, we strive to be an agent of renewal, and promise of new growth, in the regions where we operate.
