Discovering Africa’s Potential: A Conversation with Benedict Carter on the Veri Podcast Africa’s financial landscape holds immense promise, yet it also demands resilience, adaptability, and respect for local culture. In our recent Veri Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Benedict Carter, founder of Caravelle Partners, to discuss his journey across continents and his current mission in Zambia. Ben’s story is a blend of ambition, humility, and adventure. From Cambridge University to working in Russia, Dubai, and Kazakhstan, he has navigated diverse markets and complex situations. But what stands out most is his belief in Africa’s potential, which led him to Zambia to establish Caravelle Partners. His approach is a refreshing one: rather than imposing a model, he listens and adapts, focusing on building genuine trust within local communities. In this episode, Ben candidly shares lessons he’s learned about investment, insights into the African financial market, and his vision for Caravelle’s expansion. He also reveals some fascinating, and at times, humorous experiences from his travels and career. The conversation is as entertaining as it is insightful, packed with lessons on why Africa is a long-term investment game.
