The race to shape Africa's future is a contest for influence, access, and alliances across

the continent.

Rich in culture, abundant in natural resources, and bursting with human potential, Africa

is primed to become the next hub of global industry.

On June 13th and 14th, Bloomberg New Economy gathers leaders to confront the pressing issues

This is Master's in Business with Barry Rittoltz on Bloomberg Radio.

This week on the podcast, I have an extra special guest.

surely recognize.

Sarah has really a fascinating work history and a fascinating approach to disrupting the
