Africa Awareness Week – Day 1 – Opening Ceremony

February 25, 2014


Webcast sponsored by Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. As an introduction to Conference Week, we will have a night of dance and song performances, highlighted by the giving of a Keynote speech. What does it mean to re-write the African story? We will end this night by inviting all to engage with AAI over the next 4 days.

Keynote Speaker: Njeri Rionge is passionate about growing businesses and igniting potential, and believes in Africa as the next economic frontier. With over 26 years of leadership and change-management experience, Rionge has worked throughout her career within companies and also as an external management consultant, scaling businesses for corporate and start up initiatives both in Kenya and internationally. Rionge uses her entrepreneurial skill set to ignite passion to deliver organizational development and deliver bottom line results, and has a track record that demonstrates effective leadership in high-growth start-ups and corporate turnaround scenarios.
