Anesu is the embodiment of a global game changer. No rest for the passionate, they say. This young lawyer and business executive is a leader in the quest to cause action to improve economic conditions for the women of her continent. Her mission has a foundation in her career-long support of women entrepreneurship, but seriously took root last year, when she attended the largest conference on women’s issues hosted by the United Nations. She was afforded this opportunity through involvement with the United Methodist Women, one of the most influential and important groups in her country.

Before Anesu even graduated from college, she found herself serving as an African representative on Microsoft’s advisory board on the future of work and technology. She officially launched her career in marketing and business development before starting her own investment firm focusing on women-owned/women-managed businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her special interest leaned toward agribusiness, FMCGs (fast moving consumer goods), housing, and education.
