Who are we?
Kapok Consultores was founded in 2022 by Itala Yépez, with the vision of supporting organizations working for conservation and sustainable development. Since then, we have worked with local and international NGOs, helping them strengthen their capacities, innovate in their management, and generate a greater impact in the territories where they operate.
We believe that another consulting model is possible: one that doesn't impose, but rather supports; that doesn't offer generic formulas, but rather tailor-made solutions. That's why we work as strategic partners, co-creating with our clients tools, methodologies, and processes that enable them to fulfill their missions with efficiency, motivation, and purpose.
Our way of working
Every organization is unique. That's why we always begin with an in-depth assessment to understand its challenges, context, and aspirations. From there, we co-design practical and realistic solutions that meet its capabilities and priorities. During implementation, we support the teams every step of the way, measuring results, making real-time adjustments, and celebrating achievements.
Our differentiating value
At Kapok Consultores we don't just design strategies: we help organizations build the future they imagine.
Our Mission
