Where the contemporary Pan-African intellectuals
TUTU AGYARE is the straight-talking Ghanaian who “baptised” the floor of the London Stock Exchange by being the first African to trade on it in his early 20s.He later pursued a successful career at UBS investment bank for two decades, where he became head of Europe, Middle East and African investment. In 2007 he set up Nubuke Investments, a company solely focused on African investment opportunities. Today, he is a much sought-after business leader and investor, and one of a handful of Africans who sit on the board of a FTSE 100 company. Agyare is known for confronting critics of the African investment trajectory and challenges them to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realise that the rest of the world is making a beeline for Africa. Having experienced the best of the South and the West, Agyare uses his experience to navigate his way through what he describes as a rich environment for opportunity. Most recently voted one of the 100 most influential Africans by NewAfrican magazine. He is a keen supporter of the arts and a founder director of the Nubuke Foundation in Ghana, co-Chair of the Tate Modern African Committee and a board member of 1-54 London’s premier Contemporary African Art Fair.gy
