As African businesses expand into new markets and global companies deepen their interest in the continent, the way Africa is represented in international business conversations is becoming increasingly important. Claudine Moore, Managing Director for Africa at Allison Worldwide, will bring her experience in communications, business development and African markets to Africa Breakfast Convos (ABC) 2026. Moore will also host the event, organised by BHM in collaboration with Allison, on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the World Trade Center in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81). The discussion will explore expanding commercial ties, including U.S.–Ghana trade of $2.5 billion and two-way U.S.–Kenya trade of over $1.8 billion.
With more than 15 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications and business development, Moore has worked across Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom. She founded C. Moore Media International Public Relations, an agency that worked with organisations operating across African and global markets. Her work has included communications and business development for companies and business leaders across technology, finance, telecommunications and other sectors.
Allison Worldwide acquired C. Moore Media in 2022, following the agency’s work across African markets. Moore subsequently became Managing Director for Africa, supporting Allison’s growth and operations across the continent. Her role has involved working at the intersection of African markets, global businesses and strategic communications.
Beyond corporate communications, Moore has supported programmes focused on African women entrepreneurs and communications professionals. Her work has also involved helping organisations navigate the relationship between African markets and international audiences. These experiences have given her a broad view of how businesses and institutions communicate their ambitions across markets.
At ABC 2026, Moore will join BHM Holdings CEO Ayeni Adekunle for a fireside chat titled ‘From Perception to Investment: How Africa Tells Its Growth Story.’ Eden Harris, Chief Special Correspondent at Connecting Africa, will moderate the conversation on how communication, reputation, and storytelling can influence investment in African markets.
