Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, my early years were marked by the challenges of war, leading my family to relocate to South Africa. This experience shaped my resilience and determination.In South Africa, I balanced my studies with entrepreneurial endeavors, gradually shifting my focus from a youthful interest in music to a passion for technology and real estate. I founded Elie Technologies at 21, dedicating five years to developing patented solar-powered internet routers, a journey that taught me the value of patience and perseverance.Parallel to my tech ventures, I established Attila Real Estate in 2014, focusing on student accommodation. Our portfolio now spans from Johannesburg to Kinshasa, reflecting our commitment to quality and innovation.Fluent in five languages, I embrace my Congolese-South African heritage and strive for continuous personal and professional growth. I am a Monash University graduate with a degree in Computer and Information Sciences, specializing in Business Systems, Applications Development, and Networking.Recognized as one of Africa's top entrepreneurs by Forbes Africa's 30 Under 30 in 2017, my journey continues in the U.S., where I am expanding the Elie Technologies Corporation and the Attila Group globally.I and the entire organization at the Attila Group are excited about the future and look forward to making further contributions in technology, real estate and capital investments across Africa and high growth markets around the world.
