Looking for someone who knows the ground, not just the slides?
I speak occasionally at convenings on African founder leadership, ESG for SMEs, and what 15 years of practice has actually taught me. I keep my speaking calendar tight. If your audience would value a voice that does not need to translate African contexts into something else, I would love to hear what you are building.

Each one drawn from practitioner work across 20+ African countries. None of them borrowed from elsewhere.
African Entrepreneurship
What 15 years of building, raising and advising across the continent reveals about how ventures actually scale here, and what the textbooks keep missing.
Decolonizing African Entrepreneurship
Why the borrowed playbooks from Harvard and Stanford do not survive contact with African market realities, and what indigenous knowledge systems offer instead.
Female Founders
How women build differently in African contexts, the structural traps they navigate, and what the ecosystem keeps getting wrong about backing them.
Storytelling for Impact
How African founders, leaders and organisations can tell the story of their work without flattening it for a foreign audience.
Leadership
Why most ventures stall not because of bad strategy but because the leader has outgrown their original blueprint. Heart + Strategy as an operating system.
Moderating the launch panel of agriGHALA.
The launch of the first privately owned warehouse receipt system in Kenya, built by my client agriBORA.

“Liz’s slides were the best. I loved how approachable she was. What still sticks with me is that her session affirmed that I am capable.Makeba Musimbi Idah, AIESEC International
