A former gang leader turned activist, campaigner and entrepreneur, Karl has spent the past decade of his life advocating for a fairer and more inclusive business ecosystem.
Karl saw his first shooting at the age of 12. He grew up on a gang-ridden estate and went on to be shot at, stabbed, cut in the face and witness a close friends’ murder.
After the intervention of a Church-run anti-youth violence project, Karl was able to denounce his gang involvement and turn his life around.
