I help institutions, governments, and diaspora-led ventures build the systems, strategies, and partnerships needed to compete on the global stage — with a particular focus on African and emerging markets.
10+ years. 15+ countries. 100+ institutions.
You lead an institution, a government initiative, or a venture with real impact — but your positioning, partnerships, and programmes aren't yet reflecting the ambition of your work.
You need a strategist who understands both emerging market realities and the global stage. Someone who's been in the room at the UN, the WTO, and the Africa CEO Forum — and can help you get there too.
