Summary

Richard Okello's investment thesis for Africa centers on a fundamental shift that most investors are missing: Africa's growth rate has nearly converged with China's, driven by internal dynamics rather than external factors. As founder of Sango Capital, Richard manages nearly $600 million across private equity, venture capital, and private credit in carefully selected African markets.
