Our Leadership Team
The Mastercard Foundation’s leadership team is based in Africa and Canada. Country office locations include Kigali, Accra, Nairobi, Kampala, Lagos, Dakar, Addis Ababa, and Toronto.
I am excited to listen and learn from young people, our staff, and our partners, and to strengthen the collaborations that will continue to shape meaningful change across Africa and within Indigenous communities in Canada.
