Nicolas is a Strategic Advisor to the CEO of the Royal African Society of the United Kingdom.

Founded in 1901, the Royal African Society is governed by a Royal Charter and Bye-laws, with His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales as its Royal Patron. The Society is the UK’s longest-standing institution dedicated to promoting Africa, fostering understanding, and building equitable relations between the UK, Africa, and the wider world. It serves as a catalyst for positive change.

The Royal African Society boasts a diverse and influential membership body comprising individuals, companies, and organisations with a proactive interest in Africa. Through its networking receptions and programme of events, the Society offers members opportunities to connect, share ideas, and build impactful partnerships. Prior to HRH The Prince of Wales, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was Patron of the Royal African Society for 64 years.

Nicolas was deeply honoured by this appointment, as it represents a profound alignment with his commitment to reshaping perceptions of Africa, driving meaningful change, and enhancing the continent’s influence on the global stage. His goal has always been to inspire positive change and elevate Africa’s narrative as one of opportunity and progress. This appointment provides a fresh opportunity for him to challenge stereotypes and promote a nuanced understanding of Africa’s contributions to the world.
