About the Instructor
Patrick Kuwana
Patrick Kuwana is the Founder and CEO of C3 Capital, partnering to co-create inclusive wealth and prosperity in Africa through an accelerated growth framework based on combining financial capital with a business growth blueprint and strategic execution expertise.
He led a successful corporate career in the IT industry. He started his career as a computer technician moving through the ranks to eventually hold senior executive positions including, District Sales Manager at Hewlett Packard, Strategic Sales Director at Oracle Corporation, and Sales Director at Computer Science Corporation.
In 2005, he left the corporate environment and co-founded Umliba Investment Corporation – a South African-based specialist information and media-focused investment holding company. Through this company, he set up a joint venture company called PA Sports South Africa (a leading sports information provider) together with the London-based Press Association Group. In 2008, he further co-founded Livemobile – a mobile media and services company, which became the first African organization to win a Global Mobile Marketing Award for innovation in sports-based mobile marketing.
His deep desire to see the socio-economic transformation of Africa saw him start Crossover Transformation Group, which he used as a platform to develop and partner with leaders and organizations that are committed to unlocking the vast economic potential of Africa by co-creating new sustainable systems of inclusive wealth creation and prosperity through their businesses. This work saw him build an economic framework called the ‘relational economics of mutual value co-creation’, through which staggering results have been achieved in businesses in which he has implemented this. He has been deeply involved in leadership and entrepreneurship development in Africa and Asia through numerous business incubators and accelerators that he is part of.
