I envision a world where the African financial market is booming and gaining its relevance internationally. An Africa in which local businesses are penetrating international markets and also investment taking a different, stronger form. A world in which younger generations are prepared and positioned to take up opportunities, to live ‘better lives’ and to be whoever they wanted to be.

Gideon is an undergraduate student in BSc. Business Administration (Banking and Finance) and a scholar of the Mastercard Foundation on the International Accelerated Degree Program 3+1+1 at Arizona State University. His major interest is in Finance with the desire to become an expert in Investment banking. The opportunity to work on the most strategic issues for a company, to help them improve their strategic positioning, and to ultimately grow and improve their surrounding communities is really meaningful to him. The dynamism and the flexibility in the world of Finance inspires him to learn more.He envisions a new Africa where Investment is a booming industry and has a global reach. He is committed to giving back to society. He believes that positive impact is the one written in the lives of others and not on papers. Socially, he desires to provide an adequate mentorship program to young ones as they navigate through the levels of education and various spheres of life. Gideon likes exploring new things, self-motivated, hardworking, helping others and loves to take up new challenges. He has identified himself as an agent of change.
