I was raised to believe that my actions could change the world -- that by giving of myself in the service of others, I could transform the lives of the people around me. My passion for Africa extends beyond my physical roots -- it has manifested as a desire to harness its internal potential, to employ its own resources to further social impact interventions and empowerment initiatives. My current position as the Africa Regional Director at the Global Fund for Children has positioned me to create measurable change through powerful thought leadership and investment into child and youth-centered organizations across Africa. Through service, mentorship, network connections, and innovative strategies, my team and I support our partners on the ground, collaborating on actionable solutions to facilitate community impact and drive engagement.My journey from the private sector into philanthropy has offered me immense gratification and has positioned me to offer unparalleled expertise and value to every project, but my true passion lies in expanding the reach of global development and cultural understanding in Africa, inspiring advocacy for tangible change.- Oversaw a $6 million learning and entrepreneurship program for Northern Uganda, with 65,000+ beneficiaries- Built a tool for monitoring 14 emergency grants totaling almost $1M to community-based organizations in Guinea in response to the Ebola epidemic - Structured and managed the disbursement of over $120 million to support public-private projects, and $15 million in bi-lateral and multi-lateral project funds annuallyAffiliations: National Black MBA Association; Ghana Diaspora PAC, Clinton Foundation, International School for Agri Management, International Association of Black Professionals in International Affairs; Society for International Development; Foreign Policy Association.Let’s talk.
