Magatte Wade
Senagalese entrepreneur, author, and speaker
Magatte Wade is a Senegalese entrepreneur who was raised in France. She gained initial fame for a TEDTalk she made in 2017 about what she argues is an excessive regulatory environment in Africa, which forces young Africans to emigrate for economic reasons.[1] Wade has been known since at least 2004 for her business and entrepreneurial ventures, including creating a soft drink company that sells soft drinks in the United States and global markets, using traditional African ingredients such as hibiscus.[2]
Early life and education
Wade was born in Senegal, although she was raised in France.
Wade said in an interview with Forbes Africa that, "I turned down business degrees at Harvard and Stanford, because they would have ruined me as an entrepreneur. These courses teach you to be a good manager, but not an entrepreneur."[3]
Wade speaks the Wolof, French, and English languages fluently.
