In addition to a Director, I also assume the roles of Business Manager and Human Resource Manager of Merita Technologies. As the HR director, I find, screen, hire, and manage the international staff of developers. In addition, I focus on the business development aspect of Merita Tech in ensuring the balance is met between our resources and the project load. Look for opportunities to allow the company to meet 2 of its important objectives - training and mentoring developers across the continent; and efforts that will allow us to contribute, in any way, to putting Africa on the Technology map. This will lead to the developing of Software on the continent for domestic uses and for export.

Working directly with the CTO to develop, establish, and implement the company's business goals. Prepare Bids, Contracts, and assist with the preparation of Marketing materials in pursuit of new business. Ensure that our HR needs are met by handling staffing issues, from finding the right people to instituting and enforcing management policies. Also, managing our international Outsourcing operation, while working with our Project Manager to make sure our deliverables are met.
