Chief Circular Economy Transition Evangelist (Ccete)
CurrentI have given myself the role of Chief Circular Economy Transition Evangelist (CCETE). As such this role encompasses environmental sustainability, change management from the individual, team, organization, and network (ITON), and smart city design. During the last four years, I have done facilitations using the design thinking process approach (DTPA) on climate change, young agripreneurs, blockchain and startup leadership development. Over the last 18 months, I took on a leadership role in the Private Investment Mobilization of low carbon development strategies implemented by Climate Strategies based in Washington, DC. The second half this 2020 year, I have focused completely on being my own investable “regenerative” brand, identifying local entrepreneurs, who are agri-preneurs, eco-preneurs and tech-preneurs, who are open to collaboration. Currently, the next 18 months is all low carbon technologies for processing organic mangoes and marketing organic dried mangoes and organic cashew kernels. So, my focus is identifying Diaspora groups who focus on my rather narrow focus of mangoes, cashews and e-mobility.Developed business plan to export $7 to $10 million African processed high value cashews and organic dried mangoes into the USA. Develop business and technical capacity of producers in the cashew and mango value chains to ensure sustainable supply of high nutrition foods to USA stores. Investigate opportunities to import dried mango and dried pineapple into the USA. Market Nutritious Food as the critical third leg in the WEF (Water, Energy and Food) Nexus Business Model. Provide on the ground assistance in supplier development in the Technology, Quality (HACCP), Responsiveness, Delivery, Cost and Environmental value chain
