The Right Seat Story

With a clear mission to connect the right people to the right roles and unlock Rwanda’s talent potential, Right Seat was founded in 2015 by Denise Umunyana and Celine Uwineza. It became the country’s first women-led HR consultancy built not just to fill positions, but to align people with purpose. What started with one client has grown into a trusted partner for over 230 organizations, delivering end-to-end HR solutions and shaping the future of work in Rwanda. A decade later, Right Seat continues to elevate homegrown talent and redefine growth through people.

A Decade of Powering Potential: Our Milestones

From two clients in 2015 to over 144 today, Right Seat has grown into a strategic HR partner in Rwanda, helping organizations find the right people, shape their strategy, and power potential at every level.

Some relationships are simply business—ours has been truly transformational. Right Seat saw potential in me beyond my resume, and that changed how I saw myself.
