Let's start with the "WHY"...

Starting with the "WHY"

What excites me about what I do everyday...?

Could it be the passion I have for building things? Or the satisfaction derived from giving life to ideas? (After all, God is a creator and created us in His image)...
Could it also be my firm belief that Africans can excel at everything we set our minds to?  And oh, building world class businesses is no exception.

Well, to answer the question about what excites me about what I do everyday?  All the above and more...

Nana (my co-founder at ServLed) and I started ServLed because we believe Africans are capable of creating world class businesses that:

  • operate with integrity and are profitable
  • are socially responsible
  • can outlive their founders to multiple generations
We can easily name successful companies outside Africa that have survived generations (eg: Walmart, Merck, Sony, Toyota etc) but we always struggle to name even two successful African businesses with similar track record. This has to change!  And ServLed has decided to effect this change, one company at a time...

How are we going to effect change?
We believe that faith allows us to do the "impossible", to defy the norms, challenge conventional wisdom, swim against the tide. When everyone says it cannot or should not be done, we stand firm and pursue the cause.  This is what keeps us going everyday.  This is what gives life to ServLed.  And we trust the good Lord to continue to guide us through this journey daily.
