De-Risk Transformation at the Board Level
We partner with boards and CEOs to deliver low-risk, high-confidence transformation.
What Boards & CEOs Achieve With Acquence
We focus on the hardest part of transformation: making strategy survive contact with reality.
A Note From Nihad Karabernou,
CEO & Award-Winning Transformational Leader
"I’ve been in the trenches, leading teams, launching ventures, driving turnarounds, and advising boards and executives across 20+ countries and 5 continents. After Fortune 500 roles in Africa and Europe, I built my advisory practice across North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Seeing how strategy, culture, and governance can accelerate or quietly undermine growth, I founded Acquence to help organizations achieve low‑risk, high‑confidence transformation and global expansion, grounded in behavioral science and ethical governance.
My training in governance, finance, risk, behavioral science, and neuroscience underpins transformations that deliver measurable results for both people and business.”

Together, this team brings a rare blend of operating experience, science, and board‑level perspective to every engagement.
