About

Hi, my name is Suzanne. I spend my career working with entrepreneurs and investors in Europe and Africa. I am driven to help entrepreneurs scale, bringing both an investment and social perspective, from my experience in various roles: as investment committee, investor relations, impact researcher, impact entrepreneur, CEO and business advisor. I am looking to support entrepreneurs that are making an impact on the topics of energy, agri, tech and inclusion (women empowerment).

I lived a.o. in Lagos, Nigeria, the UK and the USA.

Mentorship motivation

  • I like to learn about industries and new businesses
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

The ecosystem in Africa is fast moving and I am keen to learn about the challenges the entrepreneurs face. I am interested to build a sustainable mentorship relation.
