Renew Capital, a pan-African early-stage investment firm, has announced that Jonathan Baker has joined its board. Baker brings a wealth of experience to the board with over 20 years of angel investing, including a decade focused on African markets.
Laura Davis, managing partner and co-founder of Renew Capital remarked, "Jonathan’s extensive African travel and his hands-on approach with our team and projects in Africa have been instrumental in shaping our operations. His commitment to transforming investment perceptions about Africa from aid to enterprise is what makes him the perfect fit for our board."
Matthew Davis, also managing partner and co-founder of Renew Capital, added, "It’s refreshing to witness Western investors like Jonathan who see the potential of Africa’s young, driven population. His perspective aligns with our vision of a self-sustaining, innovative African economy powered by local entrepreneurs and funded by investors seeking a financial return."
Jonathan Baker expressed his enthusiasm, "Joining Renew Capital's board is a privilege and an exciting opportunity to contribute to its vision: changing the way the West sees Africa, from giving to investing. Africa is crafting a dynamic economic narrative that the West will admire and learn from for decades. I look forward to being part of this transformative journey."
