“I don’t accept that African institutions need to be mediocre. I’m not used to mediocrity at all. I believe in big transformational things but I don’t believe in the power of I or me. I believe in the power of us, the ability to get people to focus, to work together. It’s not about ego, it’s not about you. It’s about the ability to forge alliances and strategic partnerships that bring the future of those poor people that we’re supposed to be serving, bring it with a high discount rate to now.”
