Family Office & Principal Advisory
Governance frameworks, risk oversight, and due diligence support for principals and advisors deploying capital into impact, emerging markets, and values-aligned mandates. For families building structured stewardship around purpose-driven investing.
Impact Capital & Blended Finance Governance
Advisory for funds, foundations, and operators structuring blended capital — where nonprofit, for-profit, and concessionary dollars converge. Operating model design, risk alignment, and program governance for capital that needs to perform on more than one bottom line.
Africa & Emerging Market Advisory
Market entry, partner diligence, operational risk, and governance support for organizations entering or scaling in Sub-Saharan Africa. Grounded in nine years of in-country execution across Uganda, DRC, Burundi, and the broader region — not from a desk.
Regulated Industries
Senior, scoped engagements in risk and control program architecture, regulatory remediation, business continuity design, audit validation, and issues management for banks and financial institutions. Consent order response, MRA/MRIA closeout, BSA/AML program validation, and independent risk advisory for boards and second-line functions
The Person Behind MGRA
A rare combination of regulated discipline and emerging-market execution.
MGRA is led by Natosha Ann Wallace, MBA — an independent advisor with 24+ years of enterprise risk and regulatory governance experience inside global banking, and nine years of operating, building, and governing agricultural infrastructure across East Africa.
Tosha has built, validated, and helped govern risk, regulatory, and business continuity programs across U.S. and global financial institutions — work tied to over half a billion dollars in enforcement actions and ranging from issues management framework design to enterprise risk and control architecture. This includes a seven-year tenure as Vice President of Enterprise Risk at MUFG Union Bank, where she collaborated with senior leadership and served as strategic liaison to the Tokyo Head Office, and her current consulting engagement with RSM as an Audit & Risk Validation Consultant supporting Bank of America's regulatory consent orders covering Prepaid Card and BSA/AML programs.
In parallel, she founded Global Industrial Hemp Solutions (GIHS) and The Boon Project - Agriculture with a Purpose --- a paired for-profit and nonprofit platform building circular, sovereign agricultural economies across nine African countries, with operating presence on the ground in Uganda since 2016. That work is not a side project. It is a working case study in blended finance governance, multi-jurisdiction operating model design, and the kind of due diligence family offices, impact funds, and DFIs are paying advisors to help them get right.
The combination — institutional governance discipline and lived emerging-market execution — is what MGRA brings to every engagement. Clients don't need another framework. They need someone who has built, governed, remediated, and stewarded capital in both worlds.
Engagement Model
Senior, Scoped, Independent.
Advisory Retainers
Ongoing strategic counsel for principals, boards, or fund leadership. Typically 3–12 month engagements with defined deliverables and senior-level access.
Scoped Engagements
Bounded projects — due diligence support, governance design, market entry assessment, remediation validation. Clear scope, clear outcome, clear timeline.
Fractional Advisory
Part-time embedded support for organizations needing senior governance, risk, or Africa-market judgment without a full-time hire.
All engagements are senior-level and outcome-driven. MGRA does not provide staff augmentation or junior resourcing.
