"Optima's training programme condenses years of experience into customised and interactive training programmes for aspiring fund managers. The level of detail delivered by their senior managers impressed us and represented great value for money. No one else out there is delivering this type of capacity building.”

Shell Foundation: A unique relationship
Shell Foundation is an independent charity, established by the Shell Group in 2000, that catalyses enterprise-based solutions to global poverty and environmental challenges. It helps to develop sustainable business models that can be scaled up to improve the lives and livelihoods of billions of people across the developing world.
By treating the poor as consumers and not victims, Shell Foundation and its partners tackle social and environmental problems whilst driving equitable economic growth: the key to beating global poverty.
Our relationship with Shell Foundation began in 2008 – before Optima’s inception. In fact, it was through the vision of Chris West, Director of Shell Foundation, that Optima was established as a dedicated capacity development service provider for the Growth Finance sector.
The partnership we have with Shell Foundation is unique and goes far beyond financial assistance. Through their expertise and networks, they play a key role in shaping Optima, promoting our brand and expanding our footprint.
