I had the pleasure of participating on two pivotal panels at the Women’s Private Equity Summit Europe, held at the Fairmont Windsor Park. In the first panel, “Putting Capital to Work”, moderated by Aoifinn Devitt, CIO, London LGPS CIV Limited. I joined Frances Houweling, Partner, IK Partners and Rebecca Gibson, Partner, Oakley Capital to discuss innovative strategies for capital deployment across regions.

The second panel, “Investing in Africa”, moderated by Anne Fossemalle, Director, Equity Funds EBRD focused on Africa’s potential as a key investment destination. Together with Mogkadi Maunatiala, Head of Sustainability & Impact Adenia Partners and Kriston Wilson, Managing Partner Innovate Africa Fund, we explored the continent’s unique challenges, including political stability, currency fluctuations, and inflation, and how these factors shape fundraising strategies.
