About Raymond
Bio
With over a decade of experience in marketing, communications, business development, and strategy, I have built a career centered on innovation, creativity, and growth. My expertise spans start-ups, ideation, and market expansion, where I’ve earned a reputation for driving impactful change within organisations worldwide.
As the author of Right Place, Right Time, I explore the untold experiences of individuals from global majority backgrounds and third-culture kids, highlighting the importance of diversity, inclusion, and human connection. Storytelling lies at the heart of everything I do—whether crafting narratives that resonate or shaping strategies that empower organisations to succeed.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and mentor, I’ve guided companies across Sub-Saharan Africa, North America, and Europe, helping them navigate challenges, launch products, and achieve sustained growth. I founded and led Landan Consultants, a premier advisory firm that has supported businesses in making informed strategic decisions.
Recognised as an expert in digital and social media, I’ve worked with organisations globally to leverage their online presence, meet strategic goals, and enhance profitability. My work earned me the honour of being selected as one of the first Digital Hub businesses in partnership with The Yorkshire Post, a testament to my impact in the digital sphere.
