My name is Arinze — /ah-rin-zeh/. I’m a 23-year-old Nigerian man living in Accra. In February 2020, I graduated from the African Leadership University with a first class honours degree in Business Management, and as valedictorian of my class. I have a deep appreciation for cosmopolitan communities, which stems from my experience living and working in six countries across three continents. To better understand myself and the world, I read a good number of books. My library currently comprises mostly books that discuss Africa, technology, psychology, AI ethics, business, queerness, and biographies. I spend my extra time coaching deferred MBA applicants via EarlyAdmit and building Designish, a pan-African design community I co-founded with my friends. I recently started my master’s degree in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar in the Class of 2022. In the fall of 2024, I’ll be moving to Palo Alto to matriculate at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I’ll be pursuing my MBA.
