Algene is an American, but I am proud to say, of Liberian descent. Throughout her entire career she has championed women. She and I have been fortunate to have worked together. We co-authored an opinion piece last year on the importance of investing in women and how unlocking their economic potential is key to sustainable development. I am glad to see that through her role at DFC and the 2X Initiative, Algene turned her words into action.
