Boyden Forms Alliance with South African firm Tuesday Consulting
October 26, 2026 – Boyden has formed a partnership with South African firm Tuesday Consulting, an executive search and advisory firm helping clients drive growth through sustainable human capital resourcing practices. The partnership will be led by seasoned industry executives Wendy Spalding and Tsholofelo Nketane, along with a team of nine professionals from Tuesday Consulting.
“Partnering with Tuesday Consulting represents an important step in strengthening our firm’s footprint in this critical market,” said Magdy El Zein, managing partner, Boyden Middle East & North Africa, who architected the partnership. “With the addition of South Africa, Boyden now has a physical presence in three markets across the continent – North Africa, East Africa and South Africa – creating a more holistic and regional presence. This is a larger initiative we’ve been working towards for some time to provide leadership and talent advisory services across the continent.”
“We are thrilled to be working with the Boyden team,” said Tuesday Consulting managing partner, Wendy Spalding. “The firm’s deep industry knowledge and proven expertise complement our strategic positioning in the market, making them a strong partner for us as we look to broaden our reach within the local market in South Africa.”
This partnership will bring Boyden and Tuesday Consulting’s clients a combination of global resources and specialized expertise. Both firms have proven track records of placing transformational executives in key leadership roles that drive client growth, supported by strong reputations and deep relationships within their local markets. The partnership with Tuesday Consulting marks Boyden’s return to the South African market, building on its longstanding presence in the country prior to 2024.
South Africa has one of Africa’s largest and most diversified economies, supported by sectors including mining, manufacturing, agriculture, financial services, and tourism. Economic growth has remained modest, however, with the World Bank reporting growth of 1.1 percent in 2025 and continued pressure from weak demand, infrastructure constraints, and high unemployment, which reached 33.6 percent in the second quarter of 2026.
