Michael L. Bartlett-Vanderpuye, on the cover. Themed “Portraits of Influence: The People Shaping Africa’s Next Chapter,” the edition highlights individuals whose work is shaping businesses, institutions, communities and Africa’s future.The cover story, titled “From Vision to Global Enterprise: The Man Building a Pan-African Business Empire,” chronicles Bartlett-Vanderpuye’s journey from working with modest resources, including from a room, to building the experience, relationships and business structures that contributed to the growth of M&C Group.
His professional journey spans banking, accounting, marketing, packaging, logistics, mining advisory, property and other areas of enterprise.
The profile also examines the values behind his success, including discipline, independence, resilience, research and strategic partnerships. For Bartlett-Vanderpuye, entrepreneurship goes beyond owning a company; it involves creating sustainable value, developing people, generating employment and building enterprises that can outlive their founders.
Issue 24 extends beyond the cover story, featuring the perspectives of eight African diplomats through a partnership with Women’s Ledger, while also highlighting voices from finance, technology, media, communications and professional services.
Among those featured are Gillian Darko, whose experience in finance and law reflects the growth of strategic professional influence, and Miriam Uduack Mensah, a broadcaster, media personality, communications strategist, producer and public relations professional whose career reflects the evolving influence of African media.
The edition continues My Story Magazine’s commitment to looking beyond titles and achievements to explore the sacrifices, setbacks, uncertainty, reinvention and difficult decisions behind successful careers and enterprises. It presents influence as a company built from nothing, an investment that creates jobs, a diplomatic conversation that opens doors, a media professional who gives people a voice and an entrepreneur who builds for future generations.
With Issue 24, My Story Magazine continues documenting African enterprise, leadership, creativity and influence while creating a platform for stories that contribute to the continent’s development. The issue is available now for readers seeking the ideas, experiences and perspectives shaping Africa’s next chapter.
