Strive Masiyiwa
Empresario de las telecomunicaciones y filántropo
El fundador que peleó cinco años contra su propio gobierno y luego levantó un imperio de las telecomunicaciones.
El ascenso
Masiyiwa libró una batalla judicial de cinco años para romper el monopolio del Estado zimbabuense sobre las telecomunicaciones, y fundó Econet Wireless.
Lo que hicieron
He built a pan-African and global telecoms and fintech group, became one of Africa's most prominent business voices, and funded scholarships for tens of thousands of African students and orphans.
El cuadro completo
Operating across difficult markets — and from exile at times — has been fraught, but his persistence redrew African telecoms.
Por qué importa
Masiyiwa is a model of principled entrepreneurship and large-scale African philanthropy.
“Africa's greatest resource is not its minerals, but its people.”
