About me: I was born and raised in Ghana, where I earned a bachelors degree in business administration from Ashesi University. I began my career in asset management before moving into private equity, where I spent nearly three years evaluating and investing in businesses across Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire. My work spanned sectors including fintech, manufacturing and consumer businesses, giving me the opportunity to work closely with companies at different stages of their growth journeys. I later moved to London to join Big Issue Invest, where I focused on providing flexible debt financing to socially impactful organisations.
I chose to pursue an MBA at London Business School for its location, diverse student body and global alumni network, as well as the opportunity to develop my leadership and strategic skills. Having worked across African private equity and UK impact investing, I am passionate about supporting businesses to reach their full potential.
In my free time, I enjoy taking long walks, watching documentaries and spending time with my family.
Three topics I can be approached about: Impact investing and emerging markets private equity; living in London; application process.
