Almaz Negash is the founder of the African Diaspora Network (ADN), an organization with the mission of informing and engaging Africans in the Diaspora and fostering direct collaboration with social entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders. This collaborative approach aims to drive investment and uplift the lives of individuals across the African continent and in our local communities. Under Almaz’s visionary leadership, ADN has become a pivotal platform for various initiatives. The organization is now home to the African Diaspora Investment Symposium, an annual event held in Silicon Valley that brings together influential minds and changemakers. ADN also spearheads programs such as Builders of Africa’s Future, Accelerating Black Leadership & Entrepreneurship, and Impact & Innovation Forums. Almaz is currently devoted to mobilizing Africans from the Diaspora, encouraging them to explore innovative approaches for diaspora engagement that go beyond remittances and extend to sustainable investments on the continent.
