The Board, staff and beneficiaries of LEAP Africa mourn the sudden death of our distinguished and devoted Board member – Mr Seyi Bickersteth, who passed away on March 3rd 2021.
A legend in the African finance, accounting, tax, governance and compliance landscape, LEAP Africa was honoured to welcome Mr Bickersteth to our Board of Directors in 2017, soon after his retirement as the Chairman of KPMG West Africa.
Over the past three years, Mr Seyi Bickersteth served as a committed and devoted Board member. He was extremely passionate about mentoring young Nigerians and fully embraced LEAP’s commitment to raising the next generation of dynamic, innovative and principled young leaders who will transform Africa.
