Personal Profile

I love being asked the question – how do we get this done? This is because I’ve spent most of my career advising companies on how to expand
emerging markets.

I enjoy the thrill of finding new markets, identifying investment opportunities, connecting people and leading development programs in Africa. I
steered the expansion of Volkswagen’s Future Mobility Incubator Program in Africa but what has been most rewarding is the people I’ve met along the way – who have shaped my thinking in ways I’d have never imagined.

I found harmony in photography and I escape the world of work through it. Feel welcome to reach out if you are passionate about venture
capital, cars, emerging tech, startups, photography, drones or international development.
