This CEO rejected a $25M buyout to save his dying company.
Instead, he hired 40 villagers from a coconut farm in India.
No resumes. No Ivy League. No CS degrees.
Today, his company is worth over $1 Billion.
Hereβs his insane recruiting strategy that stunned Silicon Valley:
Under the instructions of H.E. @JDMahama, we have reached a special independence Day bundle package on all three networks in the Country
All three telecom companies - @MTNGhana, @TelecelGhana and @theatghana - have agreed to offer a GHS10 bundle which would offer 6GB of data instead of the usual 1GB regular offering or 3GB offerings on holidays for the same price.
This highlights our commitment as a government to build the enablers for a truly digitalized Ghana that offers the vast opportunity of the interconnected world to Ghanaians right in the comfort of their homes.
Tomorrow, the @mocghana would outline short, medium and long term plans towards a sustained reduction in data prices.
In service to God and Country. π¦π¬π
"Software Engineer na beans to you?"
His laughter is making me laugh, too π€£π€£π€£.
Everything he said is true. Plus, there are many other areas like Web3 opening up and providing more advantages. The pipeline has transformed.
While we play Silicon Valley and European-backed DFI innovation theater in Africa, the Chinese are carefully and quietly owning our tech stack. I discussed this with someone in Kenya a few years ago. People don't realize Mpesa now runs on Huawei's tech. Many others now, too.
