Nuggets from the CEO’s Desk | From Empowerment to Economic Ownership

What does meaningful economic empowerment look like?

It looks like creating opportunities for people not only to participate in the economy, but also to influence its direction and share in the wealth it creates.

In this week’s edition of Nuggets from the CEO’s Desk, Lesego Sennelo, Interim CEO of WDBIH, reflects on the importance of moving beyond participation towards meaningful, sustainable economic ownership.

We want to hear from you: What role do you believe ownership plays in advancing women’s economic empowerment?

Introducing Nuggets from the CEO’s Desk

As we reflect on the work of advancing women’s economic empowerment, we continue to ask an important question: how do we move beyond participation towards meaningful economic ownership?

Through these nuggets, we’re creating a space to share the perspectives, insights, and strategic thinking that shape our approach to capital, leadership, and impact.

In our inaugural edition, Lesego Sennelo, Interim CEO of WDB Investment Holdings, explores why the next frontier of women’s economic empowerment lies in meaningful ownership of the wealth women help create.

We’d love to hear from you. What does meaningful economic ownership look like to you, and what needs to change to make it a reality for more women?

A heritage women can own.

Heritage is more than what we inherit. It is also what we build today and what we leave for those who come after us.

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the women, visionaries, and communities who have helped shape the journey of WDB Investment Holdings, while renewing our commitment to creating opportunities for women to build, lead, and own.

May the opportunities we create today become the inheritance of generations to come.

Happy Heritage Day!

This Women's Month, we're celebrating more than resilience, we're celebrating potential.

From entrepreneurs to farmers to innovators, African women are already the backbone of our economies. Imagine what's possible when they also have full access to capital, markets, and opportunity.

That's the power of impact investing. Read more about how WDBIH is helping redefine what investing in women really means.
