Harvard Alumni changing the face of African Infrastructure

KXT Energy has assembled an extraordinary cohort of Harvard-affiliated professionals within its board and executive leadership, forming one of Africa's most academically distinguished infrastructure leadership teams.

Adeyiola Akinrinmade, Amit Kapur, Fatima Yakubu, Nnanna Anyanwu and Phillip Madinga, all Harvard alumni form the “Famous Five” driving Africa’s infrastructure investment and development.

Fatima Yakubu, Non-Executive Director and immediate past Chief Human Resources Officer of NNPC Ltd, brings over 35 years of experience across oil and gas, audit, and banking. Adeyiola Akinrinmade, Non-Executive Director and Founder of Alpha One and Veritas Energies, is the architect behind first oil at the Dawes Island Field, dormant since 1979.

Amit Kapur, Non-Executive Director, brings a career spanning CFO roles at OTPP and IFM-backed infrastructure platforms. Philip Madinga, Non-Executive Director, has been central to financial and infrastructure development in Southern Africa for 3 decades. While, Nnanna Anyanwu, is the Founder and CEO of KXT Energy.

Together these leaders represent a generation of professionals who have taken world-class education and applied it to Africa's most consequential infrastructure challenges, not as consultants, but as builders and operators.

"When you bring together individuals of this calibre, Harvard-educated, with decades of African operational experience, the quality of governance and strategic rigour is fundamentally different," said Nnanna Anyanwu. "This is the team Africa's infrastructure development needs to thrive."
