This week Goldman Sachs Managing Director Teresa Clarke ended a decade-long career at the investment banking firm to devote her full energies to Africa.com, the leading Internet portal for Africa, of which she is president and CEO.

Africa.com is an expanding source for travel information as well as business, sports and political news about and from all 53 countries on the continent.

Under Clarke’s direction the reorganized site is now designed to gain accurate information about the investment climate, and for Africans to communicate with one another.

“My goal for Africa.com is to change the way the world views Africa,” said Clarke. “Yes, it is a continent with tremendous natural beauty and resources, but it also contains some of the world’s fastest growing economies.”

• Africa.com will provide one-stop shopping for comprehensive information about each of the continent’s 53 countries. .
• 200 specially curated videos will capture the look and feel of each country.
• Business people and investors will have access to yearly country reports on political rights and civil liberties prepared by internationally recognized Freedom House (www.freedomhouse.org ) as well as the rankings on sustainable economic opportunity assessed by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation (www.moibrahimfoundation.org ).
• Business and leisure travelers will access the most comprehensive travel guide available online, with content specially prepared for Africa.com by Lonely Planet.
