I am a Sierra Leonean-Australian trade economist and entrepreneur, and founder of Kushe Africa (www.kusheafrica.com), registered in Sierra Leone and Australia. Kushe Africa connects African products and businesses with global markets, while also helping international brands access Africa’s fast-growing consumer market and investment opportunities.

I hold a Master of Political Economy (specialising in International Trade and Economic Analysis) and a BA in Political Economy and Government & International Relations, both from the University of Sydney. My experience spans the public and private sectors in Sierra Leone and Australia, including work with the Office of the President of Sierra Leone. I also served as Champion for the Independent Continental Youth Advisory Council on AfCFTA, Sierra Leone Chapter.

At IATF2025, I am keen to explore collaborations in trade facilitation, product distribution, and sustainable growth.
