About

I am a Certified Professional Life Coach and an alumnus of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, 2017, with over 15 years of diverse experience in business development, project management, and the development sector. My passion lies in empowering individuals and organizations to achieve their full potential, particularly through strategic business coaching, mentorship, and entrepreneurial development.

As the founder of Vinmak Consult and Vinmak Farms Ltd, I have led transformative initiatives that drive growth and innovation. My previous roles as Finance and Administrative Manager with SEND-Ghana, SEND–Sierra Leone, and other organizations equipped me with expertise in managing donor-funded projects, including funds from the World Bank, UNDP, and the European Union.

Beyond my professional accomplishments, I am committed to fostering entrepreneurship and career development. I co-host an award-winning entrepreneurship radio program, Business 123, and have organized career seminars across all 16 regions of Ghana. I also leverage my international exposure, having worked in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and visited Kenya, Nigeria, and other countries, to bring a global perspective to my work.

With a strong background in accounting, project administration, and public speaking, I am dedicated to helping start-ups and SMEs thrive. Let’s connect to explore opportunities for collaboration and growth!

Mentorship motivation

  • I like to learn about industries and new businesses
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

Mentoring is deeply fulfilling because it enables me to guide others as they grow, learn, and overcome challenges. Witnessing someone develop new skills, gain confidence, and achieve their goals through support and guidance is incredibly rewarding. At the same time, mentoring is a two-way street—I gain valuable insights and perspectives from those I mentor, which helps me grow and refine my skills.

Mentoring creates a powerful cycle of growth, learning, and mutual development that benefits both the mentor and the mentee. The ecosystem thrives when more coaches and mentors step forward to nurture and empower the next generation of leaders and innovators.
