In the process, he moved into the field of private equity, with a focus on telecommunications (telecoms licenses in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa and Tanzania), energy (hydrogen, solar, “green” cement substitute, and low-energy lights), real estate (two large shopping centers among others), commodity trading and project finance (development finance institutions and equity and debt finance).
Since 2015, Willem has been building Medigrow Africa into the largest portfolio of licensed medicinal cannabis companies in Africa. Medigrow Africa’s mission is to give as many people as possible access to cannabis as a medicine.
“We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Willem Jonker to the Wuhan team,” commented Jeff Robinson, Chairman & CEO of Wuhan, “As COO, he will oversee all aspects of the Company’s cannabis business operations. His strong track record in operational management and financial engineering will make for a great addition to our executive team.”
