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
Having spent the past decade working with businesses of varying growth stages in Zambia and Southern Africa predominantly, I would love to support businesses with a sustainability, fashion and technology focus.
More broadly, I am keen to help businesses develop with a focus on people and processes to increase efficiency; and socioeconomic and ecological impact.
