About

I’ve been working in the African media and startup space since 2003 and was involved in setting up operations in Ghana and Kenya for Makmende Media.

In my current business development role at VC4A I work with a wide variety of partners to support the implementation campaigns to source entrepreneurs for support programs across Africa and Latin America. These organizations and programs leverage VC4A’s experience and online tools to run promotion campaigns, and application and selection processes.

Next to this, I’m managing the ongoing development of the VC4A.com platform and the Startup Academy which serve over 35.000 entrepreneurs at different stages to improve their business operations.
