Founder

Strategic Expertise: Social Justice, Gender, Innovative Finance, Impact Investing, Philanthropy, Community Economic Development and Diaspora Affairs.

My roles harness the power of ecosystems to effect social change and inclusive, economic growth. My competencies in leadership, strategy, programme design, execution and management help guide my clients toward the creation of more impactful International Development and Philanthropic grantmaking interventions, initiatives and strategies with longer-term benefits to underserved communities in Africa and the Diaspora.

I leverage these same skills to empower institutions, donors, family offices, funders and social entrepreneurs, with the shared value mission: fostering justice, equity and sustainable economic growth. My work has always been driven by a deep commitment to social justice and economic empowerment, particularly within the African context. That mission continues as I strive to influence philanthropy, finance and the social sector toward greater urgency to act, inclusivity and effectiveness.
