EP #39: The Growth Formula For Emerging Markets w/ Dina Sherif- Executive Director, Legatum Center For Development & Entrepreneurship at M.I.T

The role of social innovation in driving growth has never been more evident than in the African century that we are in today. In today’s episode, we have a chat with Egyptian-born entrepreneur and investor, Dina Sherif about the evolution of Africa as a growth market, the venture capital landscape on the continent and her experience building sustainable, inclusive, and diverse societies. Nearly a decade ago, she believed that the private sector had the potential to play a bigger role in leveraging sustainable business models to create an impact beyond the usual works of philanthropy. She co-founded a company known as Ahead Of The Curve to help them do exactly that. She joins us today from Massachusetts, USA where she leads MIT’s Legatum Center for Development & Entrepreneurship as its Executive Director and has some wise words to share with the entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, regulators and other curious minds listening to this podcast. Find out more about her work through her LinkedIn profile , the Ahead Of The Curve website and her work at the Legatum Center. --- Join us in creating social impact through a cup of tea by visiting www.nepalteacollective.com Support our podcast further by subscribing to our Patreon Page here: https://www.patreon.com/boardroombanter?fan_landing=true
