On Craig Chirinda: What Would You do with 4 Billion USD... « beninmwangi.com: "What would you do if you had 4 billion USD in your Rolodex (if through your personal and professional contacts you had access to it)? That’s a really tough question, isn’t it? If you have said yes, then that makes two of us. But fortunately there is someone who’d know exactly what to do with it, because he has already done it. Today we are going to introduce you to this gentleman so that you can find out what he has done and what his future plans are. His name is Craig Chirinda and he has actually channeled roughly 4 billion American dollars into the southern Region of Africa through his work as an investment banker and a venture capitalist.

Before we go into the interview let me tell you a little bit about Craig. He promotes trade and investment into the southern Africa region, which is the place of his childhood. Although he is based in the States, he is actually a Zimbabwe national. He has handled nearly US$4 billion in leads, financing deals, and joint ventures flowing into Africa and if that isn’t enough he speaks seven languages. And he has managed to get all of this under while still in his early twenties.
