Mphokolo is the Chief Executive Officer of SA H2 Fund Managers, a blended finance investment vehicle managed by Climate Fund Managers. The investment mandate of the fund is across the green hydrogen value chain and energy transition, leveraging the objectives of South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan.

Her experience across the African Continent in investment banking spans Coverage, Treasury, Transactional Banking, Structured Finance and Infrastructure Finance; having recently been located in Kenya overseeing energy and infrastructure solutions across East Africa for a large commercial bank.

Her area of competence includes capital structuring and execution across private sector and state-owned entities, driven by the scale and collaboration required to implement infrastructure projects. Her exposure and experience in asset based and infrastructure finance transactions includes select equity and asset risk in assets such as power generation plants, aircraft and locomotives; all of which are core to the operations and logistics of supporting industries across the infrastructure value chain.

Conscious that Africa’s infrastructure development is catalytic for economic inclusion and growth, her skills and understanding has been through concluding transactions in the aviation, industrial, power, health and transportation industries; in how asset lifecycles as part of the ecosystem catalysed by infrastructure corridors, enable supporting services and economic activity.
