I have spent the best part of my working life as an "entrepreneur", achieving a moderate level of success. When I came across TED, I was so impassioned with its vision and purpose, that I have decided to dedicate my life, to the fullest extent possible, to the TED cause, to make more people aware of TED and what it aims to achieve. My mission is to bring TED to Africa, and to take the best of Africa to TED.

Bringing TED to Africa, and taking the best of Africa to TED.

I was introduced to TED by a friend who attended TEDAfrica (thanks, Ramon), and right from the start, watching the TED talks from the ted.com website, I have been addicted. In TED I have found the cause that awakened the passion in me, and drives me forward.

Putting people together to achieve common goals and objectives; putting project teams together. Cooking.
