PEOPLE

Our Team

PLUS Africa is led by practitioners who work directly with institutions, funders, enterprises, and ecosystem actors to strengthen strategy, governance, capital deployment, and execution across Africa.
Our leadership model is client-facing and delivery-oriented. Each leader brings domain expertise that translates into practical advisory support, informed judgment, and long-term partnership with organisations operating in complex institutional environments.

Leadership Philosophy

We believe effective leadership in advisory work is demonstrated through how value is delivered to clients. Our leaders work alongside partners to navigate complexity, manage risk, and strengthen systems that enable organisations to perform effectively over time.

The PLUS Africa leadership team brings complementary expertise across strategy, communications, international trade and investment, legal and regulatory compliance, and financial and grants management. This allows us to support clients across the full lifecycle of strategy, capital, governance, and execution.

Governance and Accountability

Leadership at PLUS Africa is grounded in professional integrity, discretion, and accountability. Our leaders engage directly in client work where judgment, confidentiality, and institutional sensitivity are essential, particularly in matters related to capital deployment, compliance, cross-border transactions, and long-term partnerships.

Senior leadership involvement ensures quality, alignment, and continuity across all engagements.
