Initiatives and Corporate Partnerships

Partnerships, both formal and informal, have helped get me to where I am in the industry, and I believe collaboration is important moving forward. These are initiatives I have started or co-started, or indeed companies that I work with in some way or other.

Intellectual Expression
Intellectual Expression is an initiative that was born out of the need to improve the education system in Zambia. It intends to bring Zambian programmers and educators together to introduce a new way of thinking, promote intellect and, in turn, engender an intellectually-adept society. With the belief that the possibilities are infinite when technology, education and brains come together, this initiative was, in 2015, incorporated as a software development company building learning and teaching aids, as well as student portals for schools. At Intellectual Expression, the software speaks for itself, i.e. "Enough Said!" Visit the site here.

Goldlink Equities
"A single individual's resourcefulness cannot surpass the power of many. So, Pulling together achieves the critical mass more efficiently, making faster, sustainable growth more achievable and robust." That is what Goldlink Equities Ltd (GEL) is all about. I co-founded this multisectorial company with business professionals, educators and the Christian clergy, to foster wealth-creation by pooling resources and ideas together.

Collaborators and Consultants

With strengths in virtually all things IT, the guys I network with are able to provide you with scalable products and solutions. I consult or have consulted these people (who are essentially geeks because of the way they're wired) on a number of things, and if for some reason or other, you are unable to reach me, you can call on them for tech help. Now, because some of them think it's a bad thing to be referred to as a 'geek', let's just call them 'smart people'.
