Foundations of AI for Investors

I’m an impact investor and ecosystem builder focused on deploying capital toward solving humanity’s biggest challenges, especially across health equity, environmental justice, financial inclusion, and economic opportunity.

At the Sorenson Impact Foundation, I help manage a catalytic portfolio backing early-stage founders serving low-income communities in the U.S. I also serve as Investment Committee Chair at Sirmans Global Impact Foundation, where I oversee the endowment and execute the strategy for the world’s first philanthropic entity dedicated to funding entrepreneurial solutions for refugees and forcibly displaced populations.

My path spans foreign aid, impact investing, and applied technology, shaped by growing up across South Africa, England, Nigeria, and the UAE.

I’m a VC operator and investor focused on the infrastructure of modern life, including how we live, work, and learn.

At Chingona Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm, I lead internal operations and platform, and I invest in early-stage companies building the systems that power the modern economy.

My career has included roles in government, academia, and venture capital, all approached through a systems lens. I’m drawn to messy, unstructured spaces and enjoy building clarity from the ground up.
