To start the new year we have an interview with Ghanian entrepreneur Bright Simons. Bright is the President of mPedigree, a social enterprise that has developed novel solutions to the problem of harmful counterfeit drugs and agricultural products across Africa and Asia. Bright is a thought leader for the impact sector and a pioneer on powerful multi-sectoral partnerships that create ways of doing business that solve critical human problems.

Bright has a long list of recognitions, including TED Fellow, Ashoka fellow, Fortune magazines 50 top World Greatest Leaders, and just last year was given the prestigious Skoll Award for social entrepreneurship. Bright covers the growth of his social enterprise, how he has built a dynamic network that has positioned himself for powerful social impact.
