I 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.

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.
