Temi Marcella Awogboro is a global investment and systems-change leader whose work sits at the intersection of capital, technology, and inclusive development. With nearly $1B deployed across sectors central to human progress, she is recognised for mobilising private innovation and institutional finance to strengthen resilience, accelerate equity, and drive transformation across regions experiencing profound geopolitical and social change.
At Alcent Capital, Temi partners with institutions to mobilise capital toward the underlying systems—financial, digital, health, and energy—that power human progress and underpin resilient, inclusive economies, forming the foundational infrastructure that moves capital, capability, intelligence, and value across global markets.
Previously, as Regional Lead for TPG’s $1B Evercare Health Fund, she helped scale the platform from inception into a multi-country healthcare network serving more than two million patients annually across Africa and South Asia, earning recognition among the top 50 leaders set to ‘define the world of tomorrow.’ As Founding Executive and Board Director, she oversaw the development and expansion of Evercare Hospital Lekki into one of the continent’s most advanced private hospitals and a critical anchor in Nigeria’s evolving health ecosystem.
A multi-stage investor, Temi began her career at Goldman Sachs International, contributing to the firm’s technology investment strategy and capital-markets execution. She has since built early-stage investment platforms that have backed more than 200 venture-funded companies across five continents - spanning AI-driven learning and workforce acceleration, digital health and precision care, financial infrastructure and inclusive fintech, and frontier technologies shaping the next generation of global systems.
Temi has held board and advisory roles with global organisations including the Equality Fund, where she helps steward more than CAD $300M in gender-lens capital as part of an ambition to activate at least $1B over fifteen years; the University of Cambridge; and Save the Children International. Through The TM Foundation, her philanthropic platform, she advances efforts to ensure women and children are freed from violence and inequality and empowered to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future - positioning leadership equity as a cornerstone of systems-level change.
Temi is recognised as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Milken Institute Young Leaders Circle Fellow, Kauffman Venture Capital Fellow, and Goldman Sachs Global Leader. She holds an MA in Economics (First Class Honours) from the University of Cambridge, where she was a Christ’s College Matriculation Scholar, and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Temi is committed to mobilising capital for human-impact sectors, shaping responsible technology governance, and advancing leadership equity in decision-making spaces. Her conviction is clear: when purpose, capital, and innovation converge, we unlock the systems that enable a more equitable, resilient, and human-centred global future.
