Founder & COO

I met Nelly in Chicago in 2019 at the introduction of Steve Bahls, Jane's husband and&nbsp;the President of Augustana College, from where both he (2010) and Nelly (2016) graduated.Similar to Nelly, I had left a corporate job years prior to help build organizations&nbsp;and support entrepreneurs throughout Africa. While working with leaders and entrepreneurs through the African Leadership Group, I became inspired by the role of&nbsp;entrepreneurship in addressing social issues and driving economic change in emerging markets. I also was excited by the opportunity&nbsp;for technology-enabled businesses to leapfrog legacy models and stages of development.Nelly and Tyler invited me to join TechLit's board in 2020.&nbsp;I am very grateful to support an 'Augie' alum and her partner as they scale their vision and bring technology and skill development&nbsp;programs to youth and schools across Africa.
