Rotimi ThomasCo Founder

Nigeria - Lagos State

I’m on a journey to build impact driven companies born out of Africa that make the world a better place by solving problems present in the frontier markets of Africa.

I have a background in project development and large infrastructure investments, entrepreneurship, wealth management, and human resources at large companies across North America, Europe and Africa. This includes launching and managing a gas to power (G2P) infrastructure investment desk at a global electrification and technology giant with an opportunity pipeline of more than $5 Billion, reporting to the global CEO, CFO, and VP, executing special projects for 3 CEOs and CFOs via a highly competitive finance and strategy excellence program, developing Microgrids across North and South America, launching an energy start up, and trading more than $200M in securities for high value clients across North America.

I am currently a Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Aspire Power Solutions, a decentralized virtual utility that will provide millions of Africans and people around the world better energy experiences. I'm going to achieve this by digitalizing energy value chains, making them cleaner, more reliable, and more accessible to all. I also support Circular Economy initiatives that help reduce plastics GHG emissions and waste.
