About the Speakers:

The speakers, Andre and Laura, passion for Africa and conservation was ignited ten years ago when they took a sabbatical year to travel the back roads of Africa with their two sons, aged 13 and 11 at the time (see blog: www.planetb612.com ). They have published a book about their travels: “An African Odyssey”, by Andre Cohen (available at Rewind Media or on Kindle). 

Before getting involved in conservation, Andre held corporate roles in Asia and the United States with L’Oreal, LVMH, and Swatch Group, and most recently, was Global President of Dyson, the technology company, and President of Coach, the leather goods brand. 

They currently share their time between Kenya and Singapore.
