Over Deanne de Vries
Dr. Deanne De Vries is an advisor and keynote speaker to investors and companies doing business in Africa. She has spent much of the past 30 years working, living and travelling across Africa for startups, global non-profits, venture capital firms and international organizations.
She is as comfortable climbing to Everest Base Camp to fundraise to build a maternity hospital as she is addressing the World Economic Forum, interviewing Heads of State across Africa for her latest book, or crossing on foot the South Sudan border with Uganda to understand the situation her truck drivers face daily.
It all helps her understand the “why” of the on-the-ground reality so she can raise others up as well as introduce everyone to AfriCAN: the can-do Continent.
