Meredith Mahoney

I am a prolific business founder and networker in connecting American entrepreneurs with opportunities in Africa. The goal is to develop sustainable job creation among youth in Africa while also providing worth to investors. These opportunities span all types of industries including: agriculture, construction, distribution, manufacturing, and tourism.

I admire the American entrepreneurial spirit and drive for success through industry. I believe partnering to provide leadership and direction from American expertise and investments in Africa in combination with the determination and natural resources of the African people will be mutually beneficial. Connecting these entities to create sustainable, useful opportunities is what motivated me to relocate to Ghana in 2009 where I have remained to continue building and creating for the betterment of all I can reach.
