Frank Aswani, CEO of AVPA: ‘Africa is the perfect sandbox for us to really get innovative’

Good Leaders Podcast: The CEO of the African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA) Frank Aswani speaks to Tim West about solving your own problems, how Africans turn “embarrassing” issues into entrepreneurial opportunities and why it took him to leave the continent to realise his love and pride for Africa.

On the podcast, Aswani talks about:

His vision for impact investing in Africa and the continent’s value as an innovation lab for the global impact movement
How he is inspired by young social innovation leaders across the continent
How sports, music and family help him balance the demands of being an impact CEO

and more...

AVPA is a network of impact investors committed to increasing capital flows towards social investment in Africa. It is holding its annual conference on 3-5 November 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya, expecting 400 delegates from more than 30 countries. More information and tickets can be found here.
