Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya – Heshan is the youngest Venture Capital fund Chief Executive Officer in the region.

He started what is now the de Silva Group with $200. Choosing projects carefully, he grew the de Silva Group into one of the region’s most enterprising entities, with holdings in commodities, technology, renewable energy, insurance and agri-business.

In 2008, Heshan was selected by the United States Congress as one of Kenya’s Brightest Young Leaders.

Today, Heshan lends his hand to the Boards of a number of well-respected companies in Kenya, as well as several youth and social enterprise funds. A devout Christian, he attends church every week, where he mentors young people on substance abuse and entrepreneurship.
