Industrial parks developer and operator Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms’ co-founder Gagan Gupta has announced the creation of an advisory board, which includes former Goldman Sachs sub-Saharan Africa CEO Colin Coleman.

French diplomat Bruno Delaye, African economist Carlos Lopes, former Total executive Momar Nguer and former Amethis executive Laureen Kouassi-Olsson are also serving on the advisory board.

The appointments are effective immediately.

Arise is jointly owned by Olam and the Africa Finance Corporation.

The company says the creation of the committee is a particularly important step in Arise’s development strategy.

The company currently owns and manages four assets in three different countries, namely Gabon, Togo and Benin.

With the support of these advisers, Arise says it will seek to continue its expansion in the rest of the continent, positioning itself as one of the pioneers of Africa’s industrialisation agenda, by promoting the local and sustainable transformation of countries' agricultural resources.
