I believe that YPO’s impact for African business leaders is really important because what it does is it enables these business leaders who may not have other means of building connections and bridges to other global business leaders… So that’s one thing YPO provides, the ability to connect and build those bridges. The ability to create partnerships in their business and then from a personal perspective, the ability to develop themselves in a way that enables them bring their whole self as people, as family members to the table. YPO really does hone that skill and develops you to be your best self.
If one is ever offered the opportunity to join YPO, they shouldn’t think twice about it. It is just the most unique experience – growing, learning, giving, understanding – with people all over the world.”
“I’ve connected with people on a deeply personal level. The vulnerability and connection we can achieve – even though we have these roles of being global business leaders – come from knowing that we are human and dealing with other humans. YPO embodies that.”
