About me
I work at the intersection of strategy, transformation, and sustainable leadership.
Over the past three decades, I've built and expanded businesses in Africa and the US, ranging from leading my own company to supporting multinational organizations and managing a $100 million investment portfolio. I've learned that growth is only truly valuable when results and social impact go hand in hand.
I help organizations achieve profitable and sustainable growth. Companies with a social or environmental mission, in particular, often struggle with the balance between scaling up and staying true to their values. I'm eager to contribute to this by leveraging my experience in operational transformation, post-acquisition integration, and leadership development.
In my work, I've guided post-acquisition integrations, international market entries in fourteen countries, and developed governance frameworks that enhance both performance and impact. What I find most rewarding is supporting leaders to lead with confidence and responsibility for positive impact.
I enjoy working with companies in growth or transition, combining ambition with a willingness to invest in structure, leadership, and discipline. I can leverage my international network to connect with capital, international markets, and partners.
I believe that companies can be a force for good. My commitment is to enable growth that not only generates financial returns but also adds lasting value for people, society, and the planet.
Generous Minds' mission to combine top-quality entrepreneurship with meaningful impact aligns with my own philosophy. Sustainable business models can only flourish if they are based on generosity, trust, and responsibility.
