AIC 2024 | Fireside Chat with Legatum Center Executive Director and Helios Investment CEO

The MIT Sloan Africa Innovate Conference day 2 is in progress at the MIT Media Lab today. The Legatum Center was thrilled to kick off the morning with an insightful fireside chat between our Executive Director Dina H. Sherif and CEO and Managing Partner of Helios Fairfax Partners, Tope Lawani.
Together, they discussed Tope’s story of implementing the lesson learned from his time at London-based TPG Capital but with the understanding of the unique African landscape into the founding of Helios in 2004 with his co-founder Babatunde Soyoye and how, for over 20 years, Helios has established itself as a champion for African ventures not only as an investor but as a dedicated partner towards the prosperity of African-founded organizations.
