Everlasting Business Strategies Building Sustainable Wealth and Legacies US-Africa

THE FOUNDING

Legatum Strategies was founded in 2020 in Washington, D.C. It was created with the deliberate objective of placing itself at the crossroads of the African Union's landmark pro-market policy, the African Continental Free Trade Area, and the growing numbers of Americans of African descent who want investment opportunities that will arise when all trade barriers are eliminated. By using policy as a framework for project development, Legatum Strategies LLC leverages stakeholder relationships to ensure the efficient implementation of public/ private infrastructure and trade investment projects within and outside the continent. Legatum Strategies provides services based on project and strategy development, business management and planning, and financial accounting. These set of services support stakeholder-client relationships in identifying and mitigating market opportunities and obstacles (risks) respectively
