Dr. Dambisia Moyo

I first came across Dambisa Moyo a few weeks ago in one of our weekly discussions. I found what she had to say in her TED talks very interesting. I decided to look up some information on her.
Dambisa was born in Zambia in 1969 and raised there. She attended Oxford University and achieved a PhD in economics. She went on to earn her Masters degree from Harvard University. At American University in Washington, D.C she also completed an undergraduate degree in chemistry and an MBA in finance. She has worked for World Bank as a Consultant and at Goldman Sachs as an economist. She is also a contributing editor to CNBC.

Dambisa is also an author. Her work includes Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa and How the West Was Lost: Fifty Years of Economic Folly and the Stark Choices Ahead.

Dambisa has been named by TIME Magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.”
