Public Speaking
I speak to audiences working across African capital markets, critical minerals, commodity trade, development finance, and digital public infrastructure. My perspective is shaped by experience in global finance, emerging-market investment, product systems, and the formation of GTCX. The questions are practical: how can African institutions govern the infrastructure beneath commodity trade; how can technology improve market integrity without displacing sovereignty; and how can producers, governments, and capital meet on more credible terms?
