Hey ya!
If you have been struggling with how to start your business in Africa or how to makes it more profitable, I can be your personal guide. I've learned the hard way. Now, I want to make sure you do it the fast, smart, and profitable way.
How do you do good, create something that matters, and still make an amazing income for yourself? You do business with the fastest growing economies in the world.
After a decade in Africa, I've discovered the joys of traveling it. The challenges of investing in it. And the fastest way to triple your bottom line. I love helping people experience Africa for the first time. Africa is daunting. But when you start exploring the different countries--whether for business or travel, you will never look back.
Richard Mullin once said, "The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.” I couldn't agree more.
Today I help everyday people take their first step to Africa. I help business owners find products that their competitors don’t have. I connect the food industry to smallholder farmers & the tech industry to affordable developers. I help universities oversee their study abroad programs and TV networks like the Discovery Channel film their next episode in the jungles of Africa. I help the people who want to do business & impact investing and the organizations who want to make sure their programs actually makes a difference.
Consumers today want stories. They want to see that your business is conscious. But the global pandemic has put millions out of work which means your products and services have to be more affordable than ever.
Helping people take their FIRST STEP TO AFRICA & boy, does it feel gooood.
