Success in Africa: CEO Insights from a Continent on the Rise

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Hopefully, this book says something new, interesting, and human. If it does, that is a credit to the many people who gave of themselves in its execution.

I owe a great debt to the business leaders and others who agreed to be interviewed and quoted; each provided insight I could get nowhere else. Many offered perspectives on their personal journeys without which this would have been a far less illuminating book for author and reader alike. I am grateful in particular to Robert Rubin who graciously agreed to invest his energies time and again, including in the Foreword.

Some of the participants in Success in Africa I’ve known for years, but many came to the project through friends and colleagues. I am grateful to each of them ...
