About Us
Bahari Insights was founded in 2019 by Lesley Donna Williams and Taryn Lock.
Lesley and Taryn have both founded and scaled social enterprises. We met in 2018 at the convening of the inaugural class of the Obama Foundation’s Leaders Program: Africa and found an appreciation for each other’s ability to develop ideas that convert to practical action. Through our collaboration and independently, we have acted as a sounding board, mentor and curator of learning and networking experiences for our peers. Our interest now is to join forces in aggregating the talent of our extensive networks to work with organisations, foundations and governments to solve problems that convert to impact.
