DR. RICHARD ROBINSON, Principal Consultant

Dr. Richard Robinson, an American academic, business, mining and risk management expert born in Congo, has lived and worked in Africa, mostly in Congo for the last 20 years. Most recently, he has worked as a mining executive, functioning primarily on risk management and on ensuring that host communities benefit from the presence of mining concerns. Dr. Robinson has been at the center of promoting responsible mining and conflict free minerals trading in Central Africa with many seeking him out for advice on how to navigate the complex terrain of mineral exploitation and trading in Africa’s conflict zones. He worked with several mining companies,

international development organizations and as a representative of the United States Agency for International Development, who developed the U.S. government’s approach to reducing conflict minerals trade through promoting responsible large-scale and artisanal mining. He also worked as a senior advisor to a major security company advising their clients on security risk management. As a Fulbright fellow in South Africa, he helped to establish an MBA program at the leading historically black university, Fort Hare, the alma mater of some of the most prominent historical figures on the African continent, including Nelson Mandela.

EVE THOMPSON, ESQ.

Eve Thompson has a long history of promoting democracy, good governance, respect for the rule of law, as well as the advancement in society of women, youth and other historically marginalised groups in Africa and beyond. She has also worked tirelessly to promote value-centred leadership in the world, in general.
She has held several Country Director posts in promoting democracy and good governance and conflict mitigation in Africa, and she also directed the United Nations University’s International Leadership Academy in Amman, Jordan, which brought mid-career professionals from around the globe to the centre of the world to reflect on their leadership practice.

She founded FEMPO aimed at women’s political empowerment, and coordinated and led election monitoring delegations during South Africa’s historic transition from Apartheid to democracy. Before that, she conducted fact-finding and monitoring missions on the political violence in South Africa that raged during the years leading up to the transition. She has travelled on work missions to more than half of all African countries, including post-conflict countries like Sierra Leone and South Sudan.

She studied English Literature at Princeton University and Law at Georgetown University Law Center before working as an associate at a law firm in Washington, DC and making the transition to working in Human Rights Law and Democracy and Good Governance promotion. She has specifically engaged stakeholders from governments to civil society in West, Central and Southern Africa in forecasting, scenario planning and strategic decision-making.
