This visibility reflects both solid expertise and a commitment to advancing practices and ideas beyond client mandates, supported by a strong network.
Expert network active in the Americas, Europe and Africa
RegelWerk Strategies™ is not a traditional firm. It’s a fluid structure that mobilizes seasoned collaborators—former regulators, directors and policy analysts—according to project nature and target markets.
Expertise forged in the field, backed by an international network
RegelWerk Strategies™ draws on the recognized experience of its founder, Oumar Diallo, with over 15 years at the intersection of regulation, governance and international partnerships. He has received multiple national and international honors for his leadership as a former financial regulator, certified corporate director and community advocate. He has advised governments, fintechs, financial institutions and multilateral organizations across several continents.
But RegelWerk Strategies™ is much more than one individual’s journey. It’s an agile structure amplified by a trusted network of former regulators, seasoned directors and experts in emerging markets and governance worldwide. A collective intelligence mobilized on demand to deliver truly tailored solutions, at the right time, with the right people.
Our approach
At RegelWerk Strategies™, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all model. Every organization operates within its own framework—its priorities, constraints and pace. That’s why we favor a bespoke, agile approach firmly rooted in each client’s reality.
Our strength lies in a unique alliance: top-tier regulatory expertise combined with an international network of specialists we mobilize as needed. This hybrid model lets us blend the analytical rigor of large firms with the agility of an independent structure.
High-level strategic expertise drawn from public, private and multilateral institutions
A lean, responsive structure with no rigid hierarchy
An international network of experts activated for each project’s specific needs
Our mission
At RegelWerk Strategies™, we are convinced that well-designed and implemented rules can be transformative forces. They lay the groundwork for fairer, more inclusive and sustainable progress. Our ambition is to help institutions, businesses and governments turn regulatory complexity, governance challenges and internationalization hurdles into levers for positive impact.
This mission draws its meaning from the life journey of Oumar Diallo, founder of RegelWerk Strategies™, who aspires to connect cultures, systems and change-makers to build a society where everyone can find their place and reach their full potential—here and beyond.
Our values
Our interventions are driven by deep respect for local and institutional contexts, and a clear ambition for lasting impact. Every engagement is guided by these principles to deliver innovative and enduring solutions.
Listening: understanding needs before offering solutions—listening to clients, partners and communities lies at the heart of our approach.
Integrity: doing what’s right, addressing all issues respectfully. We act with transparency, responsibility and coherence in all our relationships.
Impact: our goal goes beyond delivering documents—we aim for tangible effects on governance, society and people.
Reliability: clients know they can count on our consistency, expertise and follow-through. We deliver—and we do it well.
