Founder , Philanthropic Foundation

“Founder of The Philanthropic Foundation (Mauritius). The Foundation anchors an invitation-only institutional finance convening across four African financial centres: Mauritius, Kenya, South Africa and Morocco. It is a capital and finance forum with one purpose, the uplift of Africa, and it treats each host market as a gear in a single pan-African engine instead of a standalone story. Rooms are kept small and single-track so that DFIs, allocators, regulators and fund managers engage directly. Between editions, the Foundation delivers technical assistance and capacity building across its four pillars.

The Foundation is also sponsoring TAP Fund, a USD 150M closed-end fund domiciled in Mauritius, currently structuring and raising, investing across the four following pillars: climate transition, social infrastructure, innovation and R&D, and financial literacy.”
