Our Story
MEACA was founded in 2022 by Elvis Angyiembe and Tomell deSilva Ceasar with a simple goal: to unite and support the compliance community.
Alongside a passionate Executive Board, they have grown MEACA into a dedicated movement with thousands of compliance professionals across both regions.
We recognize the immense economic potential in the Middle East and Africa but understand that some business leaders hesitate due to perceived compliance risks.
Global investors expect strong governance and compliance as prerequisites for investment and partnerships.
MEACA aims to bridge this gap by promoting international best practices and empowering compliance professionals who lead these efforts.
Through our member ambassadors, we strive to inspire a movement toward a more ethical and just world, enhancing global perceptions of the region.
We are committed to being a trusted voice for integrity and transparency in global business.
