The Vision Behind Africa Business Club

With a career spanning EdTech, healthcare, consulting, and international trade, Dr. Shekarchi has launched and led multiple ventures. His understanding of global markets has reinforced his belief that Africa’s transformation must be driven by its entrepreneurs. He sees business leaders as the architects of the continent’s rise, shaping industries, forging global partnerships, and redefining Africa’s position in the world economy.

“Africa must position itself as a global economic superpower, and this transformation will happen through its entrepreneurs.” This conviction led him to establish the Africa Business Club—a platform dedicated to empowering business leaders with the networks, knowledge, and strategic tools needed to compete on a global scale. By fostering high-impact collaborations and strengthening Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, the Club is laying the foundation for a new era of economic influence and opportunity.
