Abstract

There is a new crop of entrepreneurs in Africa who are the driving force behind the African Multinational Enterprise. These are men and women who looked beyond Africa’s limitation and challenges to found some of the largest corporate entities on the continent. They are visionaries, activists and salesmen. They are managers of complex relationships, innovators and risk takers who are unafraid of making humongous capital investments. They are magnets of capital, redistributors of wealth and agents of diversification. They are the warriors who navigated Africa’s business jungles to oversee the birth, growth and expansion of the African Lions.
