They will share insights on empowering women through strategic investments and building a thriving future.
We are also excited to present our panel of influential figures, which includes Kelly Bentley, CEO of Dx5, who has merged her passion for Africa with her expertise in technology and entrepreneurship to inspire upcoming women in the industry, Amma Gyampo: Co-Founder of ScaleUp Africa, an advisor in International Development, Gender, Impact Investing, and Philanthropy with a focus on Africa, Market Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Building, Rhode Malivert: CEO of K-12 Preparatory Academy, leveraging AI and virtual classrooms to serve global students. Together with our moderator, Lisa-Marie Misztak, an award-winning BBC journalist and advocate for diversity and women’s empowerment, our speakers will delve into critical discussions on advancing women’s roles in various sectors.
