After years working in leadership and management positions within public and private entities, including the food and light manufacturing businesses which she co-founded and operated, Dr. Alison Gajadhar-Foster became frustrated by the continued systemic limitations to growth that she had to overcome. In 2017, she moved on to establish her consulting firm, KMA Consulting, through which she helps organizational leaders solve complex development problems that intersect leadership, governance, management, and operations. With a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Graduate Diploma in Law, coupled with her training in quality and project management, Alison uses a systems-approach and systems-thinking, combined with her business acumen to help her clients produce high-impact outcomes. She has been recognised for her contributions to quality and standards within the English-speaking Caribbean, and she continues to volunteer her time contributing to national and international standards development, and in other quality infrastructure-related areas.
