Debora Randall is an agricultural economist and real estate investor who spent more than 20 years building businesses across Africa in markets like Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique, and South Sudan, where she learned firsthand that the businesses that survive are the ones that adapt before change arrives.
