Meet Ani Charles Bassey-Eyo
Serial entrepreneur, corporate treasurer, ecosystem architect, and collaborative change-maker.
"I believe everyone has a unique idea to add to life’s journey. The key thing for me is finding that spark in people and then connecting those sparks to light up our families, our communities, and eventually create a blazing fire fuelled with dreams and visions turned realities across our diverse national economies."
I am a people-oriented person and I believe humans get the job done and not robots. We therefore need to be thoroughly inclusive as people first of all need to understand the vision and direction of where they are going before they can bring something relevant to the table.
I am a multiple investor and entrepreneur because I am an idea person and I like working on ideas and making them happen. One of my biggest strengths is to take ideas and make them real and visible. I believe in the creative power, the power of creativity and that helps an idea become reality. But we cannot do it alone, so we must continuously collaborate.
Together as collaborators we can create and make changes that leave a big and sustainable impact on the society, which will take us from one point to another. I am always looking for different types of collaborators either to intern, to be a mentor/mentee, a co-investor or a co-founder, feel free to Contact Me if you feel that is something you ever want to work on. It could be to make a change i.e. Not-for-profit or it could also be something that creates economic value.
