Presidential Precinct Corporate Leaders Program 2025

The Presidential Precinct, working in partnership with Axxess, will convene the 2025 Corporate Leaders Program, April 26 – May 4 for 12 business leaders who represent African and Diasporan communities. Together, these leaders will sharpen their business acumen and refine their business models for international trade and investment.

While in Charlottesville, Corporate Leaders share their knowledge and successful ventures with entrepreneurs, international trade specialists, and community members through curated networking and welcome events. The principal part of this program is a custom-built master class in business and executive leadership, presented by the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.

Corporate Leaders also attend the Corporate Council on Africa’s U.S-Africa Business Summit, where they connect with decision makers driving bilateral and regional business partnerships. This annual summit convenes more than 1,500 U.S. and African public and private sector executives including Heads of State, international investors, U.S. and African government officials, and multilateral stakeholders.

Funding of Presidential Precinct

• The Corporate Leaders Program is made possible by a generous gift from John Olajide, founder and CEO of Axxess, a leading home healthcare technology company in North America; Chairman of Cavista Holdings Limited, a diversified holding and investment company with interests in technology, agriculture, hospitality, fintech, energy and other sectors; and Board member at the Presidential Precinct.
