About
Hi,
My name is Sam.
I have been working as a strategy consultant and financial advisor in emerging markets for the past 10 years. Mainly in Africa and Asia. Where I have advised many companies from different industries.
One field that stands out is the “Blue Ocean Economy”, I raised USD +20m in funds for Tilapia farms in Africa and Latin America. I co-own Kivu Tilapia, the largest aquaculture business in Rwanda. A pioneer in the sustainable animal protein production.
Additionally, I am lecturer in “Doing Business in Africa” at University of Lucerne in Switzerland.
