I am an electrician first. An electrician foremost. And though, I have embraced new titles like, businessman, advocate, and entrepreneur, my passion for tech is as strong today as it was when I began my career. My name is Uchenna Enoch Ekeh, and I am an investor and member of EU Electric. I am a 26-year experienced engineer and a product of Caterpillar Incorporated, USA. After graduating in Caterpillar Training school, I took a job as an electrical helper to transition my career into tech. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I really enjoyed the fast-paced, challenging electrical field. I decided to finish my years in college and pursue a career as an engineer.Over the next 10 years I served in several reputable engineering contractors working on a diverse range of projects from residential subdivisions to large commercial renovations. Through this time I developed a wide knowledge base in the commercial and residential service industry, becoming an expert trouble-shooter and problem-solver. I moved up the ladder to become the top service engineer at a large engineering services company in Lagos. I served in that capacity for 4 years until the beginning of the “Great Recession” in 2010.Entering into 2013, I was a newlywed and the bottom had just fallen out of the construction industry, I knew I had a decision to make. I either had to change career paths, or pursue my goal to become an independent contractor. Ten years of experience pointed me towards acquiring my COREN’s License, which I received in March of 2013. In December of 2013, I signed the papers for my S-Corporation and have been in pursuit of fostering the growth of the company, EU Electric, ever since. Over the past 4 years I have been very fortunate to see EU Electric project portfolio grow, even in a depressed economy. I have expanded my network of contractors and repeat clients and have been recognized for our humanitarian engineering support services in the COVID of 2020! My business is one that was founded on faith, fueled by passion, and funded with blood, sweat, and tears. I aim to provide prompt, courteous, not-for-profit service while assisting with putting our skilled tradesmen back to work.In the founding of EU Electric we showcase energetic, broadly-educated tech leaders who can identify and analyze problems, develop solutions and ACT?At EU, we see work as an extension of who we are, something that needed to be in harmony with our core beliefs more than just earners of income.
