In line with the firm’s Africa strategy, the leadership team will be supported by Michelle Davies, International Head of Clean Energy and Sustainability for Clean Energy and Sustainability projects and transactions. Clint Dempsey and Ghjuvana Luigi will lead for Anglophone and Francophone mandates respectively, supported by Warren Beech and Nicholas Veltman based in our Johannesburg office.

Together with our colleague Caroline Clapham, Ghjuvana is hosting a breakfast briefing on 4 December 2019 in Paris with a focus on renewables for mining which will explain how and why the mining sector is looking to renewables as a power solution, and the relating opportunity and challenges.
