About
I’m passionate about investing in and supporting African entrepreneurs. I’m based in San Francisco, and most recently I led operations at an energy access startup in Lesotho called Onepower. Previously, I worked in renewable energy in the US and Latam for more than 9 years. My expertise is in business development, strategy and operations, and human capital development and leadership.
I’m particularly interested in working with African companies focusing on climate, but I’m also open to other industries.
Entrepreneurs are going to be the difference makers in Africa. They are going to develop solutions to the intractable challenges that face the continent, and they will drive sustainable economic growth. I’d like to contribute to the startup ecosystem on the continent through mentorship, and I am also looking for angel investing opportunities. I look forward to building something great together!
