Senior expertise. Local intelligence. Global reach.

Founder & Managing Partner
Vincent Oluoch.
Vincent founded SCA-Partner after seeing the same market-entry problem repeatedly: capable international manufacturers entering Africa with the right product but the wrong partner, resulting in wasted time, missed opportunities and stalled growth.
He brings more than ten years of experience across export development, distributor identification, B2B partnership development and cross-border market expansion, supporting manufacturers, exporters, investors and institutions seeking to build sustainable commercial operations in African markets.
Vincent holds an MSc in Project Management from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), a BBA in Accounting and an Associate Degree in Finance from the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton.
His work combines commercial discipline with practical knowledge of African markets, including distribution structures, procurement, regulation, partner development and channel economics.
We collaborate with consulting firms, export promotion organisations, trade associations, chambers of commerce, trade finance institutions, investment promotion agencies, industry councils and sector specialists to support clients entering African markets.
Our partners can extend their client offering with local market-entry execution while maintaining a clear and structured relationship with the client.
