Managing PartnerPrivate Equity Support
I am the Founder and Managing Partner of a women-led SME Enterprise Advisory Firm, Private Equity Support (PES), whose ethos is democratizing early-stage financing in sub–Saharan Africa, through providing investment facilitation and value creation support.
PES is a culmination of 18+ years of working in the capital markets (Nairobi Securities Exchange), making private equity investments into SMEs (Fusion Investments Africa ), and asset management (Britam Asset Managers ).
Over the last 8 years, through PES, I have worked with SMEs from across 25 countries in Africa, mobilized over USD 25M in capital and engaged with over 400 SMEs, most of whom are local founder centric, with 48% of them being women led/owned. I am also the gender lead consultant– East Africa for the climate focused Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN). This work with SMEs actively promotes achievement of various Social Development Goals (SDGs), specifically promoting inclusive economies in sub-Saharan Africa.
