What clients say about Dambisa Moyo

"She received some of the strongest feedback of any speaker at Summit; several comments on her compelling delivery and insightful messages. Many attendees left excited to read her book. A few suggestions for providing the book electronically, i.e. by a Kindle download, in the future—to avoid attendees having to carry heavy books. I think that's a great option worth exploring." NACD Event, Candace Rothermel, Manager, Education Content
"Dambisa did a fabulous job during our annual meeting, and she is a lovely individual. I was fortunate enough to meet her partner and her dog prior to her presentation. So very sweet." American Chemistry Council Event, Edie Fleming, Managing Director, Meetings, Program Development & Marketing
