Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And, do you come from an entrepreneurial background?
Three years ago I founded a company in Addis Ababa called WeDeliver - an on-demand delivery company which delivers food and other items to customers' doorsteps. I have gained invaluable experience when it comes to the startup scene. I have learnt it takes a lot of work and patience to succeed as an entrepreneur. The key is to keep going even when things do not go your way. I am now embarking on another journey - running a consulting firm.
