From leading teams at Intel and NVIDIA to being named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI, Kate brings bold ideas and real-world solutions. It was a truly energising conversation.

Ep6 - Africa's economy and US policies on the continent's trade, with Lionel Zinsou

Welcome to Changing Africa, A CEO Meets... where Hassanein Hiridjee talks with business leaders from across the continent. I had the pleasure of talking to my good friend Lionel Zinsou. He brought us all his experience and his ability to put these events into perspective. Through this discussion, we wanted to go beyond the emotion aroused by these abrupt American decisions. In fact, our aim is to give you the keys to building your projects in these new balances. I sincerely hope that this podcast will enable you to approach this complex period a little more calmly, so that you can seize all the opportunities that are nevertheless arising from it. This live-recorded episode was moderated by RFI Journalist  Sarah Tétaud and featured a live audience. *this episode is in french.
