Board of Director
Nikhil Lawrence Pereira-Kamath co-Founded Africa Healthcare Network in 2015 with the goal of increasing access to care by increasing awareness and reducing the cost of care in the Sub-Saharan region while adhering to global standards of quality.
Nik has over 20 years of experience in the dialysis space having previously run a non-for-profit organization, Youth That Care, whose mission was to provide assistance to the developing world via the establishment of dialysis centers. Youth That Care established dialysis centers across India and the first dialysis center in Burundi.
Nik graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in Economics and a certificate in Finance. He worked as a research analyst at Oxford Bioscience Partners and as an analyst at Morgan Stanley, and then became an associate at Berkshire Partners, a Boston based investment firm with $16.0Bn+ in AUM. Nik was a Candidate for an MBA at Harvard Business School Class of 2016 where he received First Year Honors before deciding to defer his second year to launch AHN.
After nearly a decade of building AHN into a market leader, (and launching in Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya), Nik returned to the U.S. and quickly transitioned into a corporate leadership role in the biotech sector. He joined ProKidney, a late-stage biotech company developing a first-in-class autologous cell therapy for chronic kidney disease, where he now serves as Chief Business Officer. At ProKidney, he is responsible for corporate strategy, the office of project management, strategic finance, business development, and preparing the company for its commercial launch.
