Description

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Sheila Kyarisiima — Partner at NISK Capital, Co-Chair of Spelman Estates (owners of Silverback Mall & Pinnacle Hotel), and a member of Kenya’s National Investment Council appointed by President William Ruto. 

We dive into her personal journey from Harvard and Wall Street to Kigali real estate, unpack the challenges of running luxury properties like the Pinnacle Hotel, and explore how Rwandan SMEs can raise capital beyond bank loans. 

Sheila also shares her outlook on East Africa’s economic future, her insights on entrepreneurship, and how she balances leadership, family, and life. This is a conversation about money, strategy, and Africa’s next economic chapter — don’t miss it.
