2009 Tutu Fellow James Mwangi has been selected for the prestigious Maurice R Greenberg World Fellows Program at Yale University. The program enables “extraordinary individuals, from across the globe and from diverse disciplines, to increase their capacity to make the world a better place.” Aside from James, the Class of 2021 includes a Brazilian diplomat, an Israeli journalist, and a British expert in the ethics of artificial intelligence among the 16 women and men selected as 2021 World Fellows.
The cohort brings the total number of World Fellows since the program’s start in 2002 to 375 Fellows, representing 91 countries. The program selects a diverse cohort of World Fellows to spend four months together in residence at Yale University “to grow intellectually, share knowledge, strengthen skills and expand networks.”
James is the Executive Director of the Dalberg Group, and a Partner with Dalberg Advisors. The Dalberg Group is a collection of impact-driven businesses that seek to champion inclusive and sustainable growth around the world. His clients range from heads of state to senior leaders of multilateral organizations and foundations. James joined Dalberg as a founding member in 2002, started Dalberg’s first Africa office (Johannesburg) in 2007, and subsequently served as Global Managing Partner of Dalberg’s consulting business, guiding the formalization of its structure and governance as a global firm.
