Dr. Sokuni, the man who builds people to build organisations

FOR over 30 years, Dr. Sokuni has been helping people and organisations grow together.

He is one of Zambia’s most respected leaders in human resource management, who is known for believing that every successful organisation starts with the people who work in it.

Today, he is the Chief Executive Officer of KSM Group of Companies, Zambian firms in human resource and management consultancy, debt management and hospitality.

Before founding KSM, Dr. Sokuni worked at the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA), Telecel and Barclays Bank.

It was in these early years that he realised his passion for helping people succeed in their jobs and grow into strong professionals.

When he later founded KSM Management Consultants, his dream was to build a company that focuses on developing people and his company now supports many organisations in recruitment and outsourcing services across different sectors.

Over the years, Dr. Sokuni has also played a big role in shaping the HR profession in Zambia.

He served as Vice President of the Zambia Institute of Human Resource Management (ZIHRM), where he helped improve how HR is managed and respected across the country.

He also sits on several company boards, where he advises on corporate governance and employee development.

Because of his outstanding leadership, Dr. Sokuni has been recognised as Best CEO (HR Orientation) by the Zambia Institute of Human Resource Management two consecutive times, in 2022–2023 and again in 2024–2025.

These awards show his consistency, professionalism and the high standards he continues to set in the HR field.

Outside of work, Dr. Sokuni is known for mentoring young professionals and encouraging them to stay disciplined and focused.

After three decades in the industry, Dr. Sokuni continues to influence how Zambia thinks about leadership and performance, believing in people and helping them reach their full potential.
