Mr. Impact Venture Capital

About Me:

I started my career at a top consulting firm for 3 years in North America. After a short entrepreneurial/exploratory break, I moved (back) to Sub-Saharan Africa where I pivoted into Venture Capital and Impact Investments for the past 2-3 years. I am a true believer in finance/business for good and that Africa will be the next big market.
