Guest of Honour: / Mr Ian McCloy
Africa Strategies Network (ASN)
About the Guest of Honour and Speaker:
As one of the founding members of this informal network, Mr. Ian McCloy works with like-minded professionals across Africa to develop entrepreneurial capacity.
Africa Strategies Network (ASN) focuses on three initiatives:
Global Africa Trading Fund – facilitating Structured Trade Financing
Africa College of Technical Skills – bridging the skills gap through Vocational Training and Certification; Coaching; Mentoring; Seminars; and, WorkshopsDoing Business in Africa – using the extensive ASN people across Africa to provide consulting and advisory services to companies wishing to invest, or expand their activities, in Africa.
Ian McCloy was born in Nairobi in 1962, a year before Kenya’s independence from Britain. From an early age Ian’s father instilled in him an appreciation for the nature and culture of Africa, always optimistically asking “Ian, where is better than here?”
Having obtained his Engineering Degree from the University of Cape Town, he joined Hoechst AG’s Graduate Development Programme in South Africa, remaining with this large Chemical Conglomerate until they unbundled the business in 1999, and then taking up MBO opportunities presented by their departure from Africa.
Ian’s career has taken him to 22 African Countries; he has set-up businesses in 12 jurisdictions and worked in a wide spectrum of sectors, leading to a deep understanding of what makes business in Africa sustainable.
From a legacy of exploitation, where development was artificially constrained, Ian believes that in the next 20 years the continents rich cultural diversity and abundant resources will power Africa into a position of global leadership.
He fully appreciates that Radical Economic Transformation in Africa can and will only be driven by individual entrepreneurship – no Government, NGO, Religious Institution or Multinational having come close to achieving the aspirations of their people. With 8 million Africans in Europe and 40 million in America the diaspora is already a force to be reckoned with, and demonstrated through the likes of Barack Obama and others, to be fully capable of succeeding in every walk of life. The days of exploitation and prejudice are over and the “African Renaissance Train” is leaving the station.
