I am an astronomer by training and an investment manager by profession. As the Director for Conservation International Ventures’ Africa portfolio of SMME investments, I lead fundraising, deal origination, analysis, due diligence and execution in Kenya and South Africa. I also make active contributions to thought leadership, within CIV and the broader organisation.

I provide contributions to knowledge outputs and policy creation regarding investment themes, fund strategies and investment process as well as having played an ESG advisory role to a major tech Corporate client’s carbon solutions fund and internal teams.

I am looking to expand my network in this field and build collaborations. If you share similar interests on a social or professional level, do reach out.
