I'm a serial entrepreneur and the founder and executive director of TEN Habitat, a non-profit organization based in Barbados which focuses on developing investor-ready firms and engaging the Caribbean diaspora to co-invest into them.With a strong focus on nurturing global communities around Caribbean entrepreneurs, I founded the Caribbean Startup Summit, an annual event which connects a global startup community to regional entrepreneurs to share experiences and insights into starting and scaling viable ventures. I'm a marketing and brand strategist by profession, with more than two decades of regional and international experience in the communications and marketing industry and have been credited with multiple American Advertising Federation Awards.I have a passion for developing and driving initiatives to provide support to the regional startup community. This passion led to the creation of a business accelerator for startups, a co-working facility and innovation hub to bring entrepreneurs and corporations together in one space to work on solving industry challenges and the establishment of the Source Code Developer Academy, committed to nurturing more relevant tech talent coming out of the region.
