The Turaco is a bright, beautiful bird in Central and Southern Africa whose primary job is to act as a 'go-away' bird, warning other animals of the presence of predators.

As Turaco, we want to be a company that is a joy to be a part of, where our team and customers feel they have healthier, happier lives - and that we help them get ahead of the risks they face.

The Turaco team enables individual creativity while providing nurturing bonds to protect growth. When one of us recognizes a real risk, we work together to help everyone avoid it. And when one of us identifies a new opportunity, we go together.
