Positioned at the intersection of business, diplomacy and investment, I serve on the core team of the Future Trends Group and the Presidential Envoy for International Relations and Economic Development of the Republic of Botswana — to facilitate and strenghten strategic global partnerships, unlock foreign direct investment, and support transformational nation-building initiatives. Our work sits at the crossroads of: • International relations and high-level access • Structuring foreign investment into emerging markets • Supporting vetted partners with a gateway to qualified and selected opportunities across Africa Previously, I built ventures, brands, and impact ecosystems that connected global players with local power — from supporting 1,000+ farmers in Indonesia, to building trade corridors between Southeast Asia and Europe, to working in frontier tech, Web3, and emerging markets. We now focus on the Movement started by our Chairman, the Collective Peaceful Rise of Africa and a very first model nation in Botswana, by: • Hosting and structuring high-level investment delegations to Botswana • Curating government-approved projects in infrastructure, mining, energy, and more • Supporting vetted partners entering the region and the continent through our Future Trends gateway model Your next move in Africa might start with this conversation. If you’re an investor, fund, institution, or government-aligned player looking to enter Botswana or build in Southern Africa or Africa — let’s talk.
