In a continent where leadership often lacks the capacity for scalability and sustainability, Ambassador Dr. Young Piero Omatseye—widely known as The Pacesetter—is charting a new course through executive excellence and boardroom strategy. While many recognize him for his dynamic Pan-African activism and youth advocacy, a lesser-explored yet deeply impactful facet of his work lies in business leadership and corporate governance.
Amb. Piero’s leadership portfolio is both expansive and strategic. As the Managing Director of Jet Age Zimbabwe and Jet Age Mauritius, he oversees multinational operations that focus on youth development, entrepreneurship, innovation, and Investment. These branches of Jet Age Nation Builders—an organization he scaled from a modest $100 in 2019 to a valuation of over $50 million by 2024—demonstrate his uncanny ability to transform vision into sustainable ventures across borders.
He is also the Executive Director of the Young Piero Organization, a body that serves as a think tank and empowerment platform for emerging African leaders. Here, his work extends beyond business into leadership incubation and mentoring, creating ripple effects throughout the continent’s human capital development space.
In the real estate and consultancy sector, Amb. Piero brings depth and precision as Executive Director of P’s Consultant & Real Estate. His focus on ethical business, innovative urban solutions, and youth-centered property investments reflects a rare blend of enterprise and empathy. Under his guidance, the firm is not only growing in assets but is also cultivating a new class of responsible real estate professionals in Africa.
In board leadership, Amb. Piero holds strategic roles in influential organizations such as Se7en Star Global Hangar and Shofem Global Services Ltd. These board positions place him at the forefront of cross-sector collaboration, from aviation support systems to global logistics and technology integration. His insight, shaped by years of diplomatic and developmental engagement, adds exceptional value to corporate strategy discussions and international business alignment.
Furthermore, his role as a Parliament Member in the African, Caribbean, and Pacific Joint Session (under the African Union Simulation) amplifies his influence in policymaking and multinational cooperation. He is not just a business leader, but a policy actor who understands the intersection between economic growth, governance, and social stability.
Amb. Piero Omatseye represents a rare archetype: a leader who thrives equally in activism and administration, in grassroots engagement and high-level board meetings. His track record confirms that Africa’s transformation requires more than good intentions—it demands disciplined leadership, corporate innovation, and the courage to disrupt the status quo. In boardrooms across Africa and beyond, Amb. Piero is not just taking a seat—he’s setting the agenda.
