Strategic executive leader and African futurist with over 25 years of board-level experience driving inclusive growth across public, private and multilateral sectors. As Head of the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in The Gambia, I align 21 UN agencies behind the 2030 Agenda and lead AI-driven innovations that increased resource allocation efficiency by 20% and mobilised over $300M for large-scale job creation programmes. Previously, I directed UNDP Africa’s structural transformation and extractives initiatives across eight countries, enhancing mining productivity and inclusive growth while advising boards and governments on sustainable finance and policy reform. I blend visionary leadership with stakeholder influence and cross-sector collaboration to translate cutting-edge ideas—such as ethical AI, ESG financing and economic governance—into transformative strategies that uplift millions. Recognised in 2023 as one of Africa’s most creative leaders, I continue to champion partnerships and innovation to shape a sustainable, inclusive future.
