Today we’re taking you back to school! This episode, our guest is the incredible Audrey Cheng, founder and former CEO of Moringa School in Kenya! Moringa School was started to transform higher education in Africa. During her 7 years leading Moringa School, Audrey built and led a team of over 100 people to train over 4000 students in Kenya and Rwanda with an average 85% job placement rate, launched 3 high-quality, proven courses and engaged with over 100 employers.

For her work, she was selected as one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneurs, World Economic Forum’s Top Female Innovators in Africa and named on the list of Marie Claire’s “The Youngest Execs in the Country” list. Moringa School has also been awarded Financial Times and IFC’s “Finalist – Achievement in Sustainable Development, with a focus on Education, Knowledge and Skills”.  Moringa’s aim is to train over 200,000 knowledge workers through market-driven education by 2030.
