My Journey

I often say that my journey has been less about chasing success and more about building significance.

I was trained in finance, but my education truly began when I saw how access to capital — or the lack of it — could change entire communities. Numbers and deals taught me discipline, but people taught me purpose. That realization shaped the path I’ve walked ever since.

As an investor and entrepreneur, I’ve had the privilege of building and supporting companies that solve real problems: powering homes, creating jobs, and opening new doors for Africa’s future. As a lecturer, I’ve stood in classrooms around the world, sharing not just theories but lessons learned in boardrooms, construction sites, and communities. And as a philanthropist, I’ve poured my energy into education and innovation, because I believe they are the most powerful tools we can give the next generation.

My story is not just about companies or investments. It’s about a belief — that capital, when guided by values and patience, can be a force for transformation. That leadership means service. And that Africa, with all its challenges and opportunities, is not waiting to be saved but ready to rise.

Every chapter of my journey has been guided by faith, by empathy, and by an unwavering conviction: that the future we are building must be sustainable, inclusive, and rooted in purpose.
