Microsoft's new Africa Transformation Office (ATO) will be headed by Ghanaian Angela Kyerematen-Jimoh, an international corporate law expert. She is in charge of strategic partnerships for Africa.

The creation of the ATO by Microsoft is a reinforcement of its investment to enable digital transformation in Africa. The Africa Transformation Office will focus on facilitating growth and investment in four critical development areas: digital infrastructure, skills development, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and startups. After having been responsible for IBM's operations in more than 40 African countries, including Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda, Ghana and Tunisia, the Ghanaian will now work on strategic partnerships with governments, financial institutions, telecommunications operators, multinationals and international organizations across the African continent.
