EP 06: Dr. Sangu Delle: On maximizing his time and talent, investing in African ventures, and mental wellbeing for men.

My next guest is Dr. Sangu Delle. He is the CEO of CarePoint, a tech forward healthcare system operating across the African continent. He is also the Founder and Chairman of Golden Palm Investments Corporation, an investment holding company that has backed startups such as Andela, mPharma and Flutterwave. Its portfolio companies have raised over $1.2 billion in venture financing.   Dr. Sangu Delle is a TED fellow, Desmond Tutu Fellow, Eisenhower Fellow, and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. He sits on the board of Ashesi University and he was previously an elected director on the board of Harvard’s Alumni Association. He has a BA from Harvard College, MBA from Harvard Business School, JD from Harvard Law School, Masters from the University of Oxford, and he also obtained his PhD from the University of Birmingham.  In this conversation, we discuss experiences that have shaped who he is today, pursuing a life of impact on the African continent, and mental wellbeing especially for men. He especially highlights how his childhood upbringing gave him the room he needed to experiment and grow his imagination, and how he was fortunate in that regard.  I learned a lot from this conversation, I hope you do too.
