Biography

Heather Matranga is Managing Director of Venture and Investments at Village Capital, the title given on the organisation's own team page and used in its 7 May 2026 press release. Her title as Village Capital writes it has changed over time: she was quoted as VP of Impact Investments in May 2023 and as Vice President, Impact Investments in January 2024. She is the Village Capital voice quoted in the organisation's own announcements of investments made through the funds and facilities it manages, including the Financial Health Innovation Fund and the Africa Ecosystem Catalysts Facility. Village Capital's legacy team page at vilcap.com/team, which is out of date, lists a 'Heather Strachan Matranga, Manager, New Initiatives', indicating longer tenure, but that page is stale and is not relied on for anything in this record. No education, prior employer, board seat, IPO count or exit count could be sourced for her from Village Capital or another acceptable source; the current team page's biographies are behind JavaScript expanders that did not render.
