African Giant of the Week: Fatoumata Bâ, the Senegalese powerhouse reshaping Africa's investment landscape.

Africa's economic transformation will require more than ambitious policies, natural resources and promising ideas. It will also require people willing to invest in those ideas, support entrepreneurs and create opportunities for businesses to grow. Senegalese entrepreneur and investor Fatoumata Bâ is doing just that. As the founder and Executive Chair of Janngo Capital, a pan-African investment firm supporting technology-driven businesses, Bâ is addressing one of the biggest challenges facing African entrepreneurs: access to capital, particularly for women. Born in Senegal and raised between Senegal and Togo, Bâ studied Management, Strategy, Marketing and Finance at Toulouse Business School in France, graduating in 2009.
