Acrow’s Paul Sullivan Participates in Corporate Council on Africa’s U.S.-Africa Business Summit 2022

Sullivan spoke during the presentation titled “Building Infrastructure: Highway to Growth” which focused on the urgent need to increase infrastructure development on the continent, which is particularly critical with the imminent implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area. Drawing upon his extensive experience with the successful implementation of transformative large-scale bridge development programs across the continent, Sullivan shared his insights on reducing transportation infrastructure deficits in support of sustainable economic development and more broadly experienced prosperity.

Kalidou Gadio, Partner, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP moderated the dialogue. Sullivan’s co-panelists included Hon. Alice Albright, CEO, Millennium Challenge Corporation; Tshepidi Moremong, COO, Africa50; Albert Momo, Vice President and Executive Director of Emerging Markets and Funded Projects, Trimble; Kazeem Oladepo, Vice President, IHS Nigeria, and Mehdi Tazi Riffi, Chairman of the Board, Tanger Med Special Authority.
