Packet Core Engineer at MacTay Consulting

MacTay Consulting has been in existence for over 28 years in Nigeria. We are a member of TACK and TMI, international consulting companies operating in over 60 countries and with a combined experience of over 80years. Our global network of partners and experience means that our clients enjoy all the benefits of a local office while drawing upon our multi-cultural knowledge and global delivery resource - whenever required.

Mactay’s approach is to work together in partnership with our clients, we aim to be in it for the long term but firmly believe that partnerships are created by ensuring that our clients are able to develop the capability to sustain and drive solutions we co-create with them. We always have an 'exit strategy’ - ways to provide our clients with the opportunity to pick up the solution and run with it themselves, while making ourselves available anytime we are invited for advice. It is precisely this approach that has led to some clients choosing to work with us for many years, knowing that we are there to support them in their chosen journey.
