Who We Are
AMATEA is a for-profit socially aware and socially responsible company with a vision and mission of social betterment: Positive Social Change. We strive to bring value to and connect with all stakeholders—customers, employees, partners, communities—for the greater good of our client’s mission and our society.
We are Problem Solvers. We assemble an interdisciplinary team of subject matter experts from key disciplines to create optimal solutions that are sustainable and take into account the “lived experience” of stakeholders.

We are Change Brokers™: Brokers of personal, organizational, technological, social, and cultural change. We provide Management Consulting and Technology Solutions worldwide, across linguistic and cultural domains.
​
We work toward Positive Social Change. We apply management and information and communication technology (ICT) solutions to social problems: ranging from defining and automating business processes for an organization to creating an anti-kidnapping tracking system for a country. We actively seek to address issues of social concern in the areas of human rights, human trafficking, women in development, rural development, and emergency response, among others.
