Chanell Henry is a British-Jamaican entrepreneur and finance professional, with a background in investment operations across hedge funds and asset management in London. After several years working in finance, Chanell made the decision to channel her commercial and investment experience into agriculture, co-founding Clarendon Gold with her father, Vendrys Henry.

Together, they are developing a 100-acre commercial orchard farm in Clarendon, Jamaica, primarily focused on ackee, while building the infrastructure, team and commercial relationships needed to develop a wider agricultural business. Self-funded with over £300,000 invested to date, Clarendon Gold is being built with a long-term vision spanning cultivation, processing, packaging and export.

Chanell’s journey reflects her commitment to connecting diaspora capital and expertise with productive opportunities in Jamaica, while contributing to local employment and the development of Jamaica’s agricultural value chain.
