Across borders. Across the enterprise.

African enterprise.
Lasting value.

The vision is to create an ecosystem that strengthens African enterprise: translating research and innovation into practical solutions, opening markets and developing opportunities for investment and growth.

I develop the relationships that carry the work forward: solutions into local markets, production into customers’ hands, and suitable by-products into further productive use.
